Private Power and Infrastructure Board
Pakistan's Power Sector and PPIB's Role
Historically power generation in Pakistan has been in the public sector, where two vertically integrated
utilities namely Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) and Karachi Electric Supply
Corporation (KESC) were operating the system. Keeping in view the electricity demand patterns and
lack of financial resources in the public sector, the government of Pakistan decided to mobilize private
sector resources by inducting it into power generation. In 1985, the government of Pakistan announced
measures to encourage private sector participation in the power sector, when the 1292 MW Hub Power
Project (Hubco) was initiated. Later, the Power Policy 1994 was announced under which the Private
Power and Infrastructure Board was created to act as one-window facilitator for investors interested in
setting up power generation and transmission line projects and to provide day to day support to IPPs
which subsequently commissioned as a result of PPIB's facilitation.

To cater for electricity requirements of the country, PPIB has always been a leading force of the GOP in
implementing various initiatives under different policy frameworks announced from time to time. The
brilliance of PPIB's past performance is evident from the fact that by attracting an investment of US$
20 Billion, PPIB has so far managed to facilitate induction of fourty (40) IPPS of 17,551 MW which are

Role of PPIB is mainly of a facilitator for the private sector investors, and a mediator between different
stakeholders of the power sector. PPIB assists IPPs in different areas vis-a-vis issuance of
consents/approval from the relevant authorities for timely commissioning and proper functioning of
the complex, provision of third party support for the prudent performance and timely payments to
IPPS from the power purchaser and fuel supplier, to facilitate security arrangements, availability of
foreign exchange, etc. In addition to these, PPIB also provides risk coverage against any political event
and change in law materially affecting the company. PPIB arranges, and also facilitates GoP to organize
conferences and seminars at national and international level to highlight investment opportunities in
the private power sector of Pakistan and attract investment to this effect.
Pakistan's power sector comprises of power plants established in the public as well as private sector.
Pakistan's primary energy mix comprises local Thar coal, Hydel, Solar, Wind, Nuclear, Imported Coal,
Bagasse/Biomass and natural Gas/RLNG. As allied infrastructure, transmission network is a critical
component of the power sector without which electricity cannot be transmitted to the load centres.
based on different fuels i.e. hydro, local and imported coal, gas, RLNG & RFO. These IPPs were
materialized under different policy frameworks which were announced in 1994, 1995, 2002 and 2015.
