Private Power and Infrastructure Board
Development of Robust Transmission
Line Network
As discussed in the previous chapters, PPIB is actively processing the ±660 kV Matiari-Lahore HVDC
Transmission Line Project which is likely to be completed within stipulated timeline of March 2021. With
the support of relevent stakeholders, all out efforts are being made by PPIB to make this project
operational concurrently with those power projects which are planned to be connected with this
project.
With the GOP's enhanced focus on energy security for reliable access to energy resources at affordable
economic, financial, environmental and social cost; concerted efforts for private sector resource
mobilization are necessary for large infrastructure projects. Considering the large capacity additions
planned in electrical generation system, the GOP / PPIB are poised to materialize plans for
establishment of new EHV transmission line projects through conduct of first International
Competitive Bidding (ICB), pursuant to provisions of the TL Policy 2015.
In this respect, the Planning Commission, Ministry of Planning, Development & Reform had earlier
communicated Minutes of Central Development Working Party (CDWP)'s meeting held on 24th May
2018, wherein the CDWP inter alia constituted a Steering Committee comprising members from
Planning Commission, Ministry of Energy (Power Division), NTDC & PPIB for identification of list of
transmission line projects and for overseeing preparation of the security package to conduct ICB. So far
nine (09) meetings of the Steering Committee have been held on the matter.
Since it would be the first ever Levelized Tariff based ICB for award of transmission line project(s) to
private sector, preparation of standardized Request for Proposal (RFP) along with a bankable set of
Security Package Documents (SPDS) including Implementation Agreement (IA), Transmission
Services Agreement (TSA), Operation & Maintenance Agreement (O&M), Land Lease and Right of Way
Agreement (LLA) as required for such transactions, are of utmost importance. The Terms of Reference
(TORS) of the Steering Committee also include inter-alia seeking donor's assistance. Therefore, on the
request of PPIB, the Steering Committee initiated exploring the possibility of International Donor's
assistance such as World Bank and USAID, for the whole exercise leading up to the conduct of ICB and
award of project(s) to the successful bidder(s).
The matter was therefore presented in 125th Meeting of PPIB Board held on 29th August 2019 wherein
PPIB Board's approval / permission was sought regarding finalization of TORS (in consultation with
Planning Commission, NTDC & USAID/SEP) for engagement of Consultant Firm by USAID/SEP for the
initiative, signing of Task Sustainability Plan (TSP) along with NTDC for acquiring USAID/SEP assistance,
and processing of the two candidate projects as recommended by NTDC and approved by the
Steering Committee however the Board did not agree to the proposed technical/financial support by
USAID-SEP for the said initiative.
In the meanwhile, International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of World Bank Group,
approached, Planning Commission and PPIB to offer transaction advisory services for conduct of ICB.
The IFC also discussed collaboration with USAID/SEP for accomplishment of the desired objective of
implementing transmission line projects through private sector through ICB under the TL Policy 2015
during a meeting held on 30th September 2019 at Planning Commission which was participated by
IFC, USAID, SEP, PPIB and Planning Commission. In light of protracted discussions held during
meeting at Planning Commission, the USAID shared a revised TSP including roles of USAID-SEP, IFC,
PPIB, and NTDC & Planning Commission.

The transaction structure along with the roles and responsibilities of stakeholders for end-to-end
services, as presented by IFC and USAID/SEP, was considered by PPIB Board in its 126th meeting held
on 21st November 2019 and in-principle approval of the PPIB Board was sought to work upon the
evaluation / finalization of “Financial Advisory Services Agreement - FASA" with IFC and the TSP with
USAID-SEP, IFC and NTDC to conduct first-ever ICB for transmission line project, covering
development of required framework and the project documents. The Board did not grant permission
to PPIB to engage USAID/IFC for the aforesaid services. The decision of the Board is as follows:
i.
Board directed PPIB to initiate the process of inviting EOI and to hire the required
consultancy/advisory expertise for conduct of first ICB for Transmission Line and SS/GS
or CS Projects, and for development of whole framework including EOI, RFP and
Security Package Documents, etc., in collaboration with NTDC;
ii.
Board further advised PPIB to arrange funds for the required services / assignments
either through PSDP or its own resources.
In pursuance to the aforesaid Board decision, PPIB would initiate the process of hiring a suitable lawyer
/ legal consultant for preparation of the required documents and provision of any incidental services.
Accordingly, PPIB vide letter dated 28th January 2020 while conveying decision of PPIB Board to
Planning Commission, requested to arrange a list of doable candidate projects, supported by relevant
information/data / studies from NTDC, as per the provisions of the TL Policy 2015, duly approved by
NTDC Board, for conduct of first ICB for transmission line projects through private sector.
