ANNUAL REPORT
Development of Transmission Network
Incremental development in the generation
side necessitates availability of a vibrant and
efficient network to transmit electricity over
long distances across the country.
Transmission network serves as a bridge
between electricity generation and
distribution sector and a sustainable power
sector ensures reliable power supply to the
end consumer. There is no doubt that weak
and unreliable transmission and distribution
system plagued with constraints and
bottlenecks has been a major challenge for
Pakistan's power sector since long.
Electricity is an integral part of the economic
order of Pakistan because energy demand
and economic growth share a tight bond. As
discussed earlier, Pakistan is overcoming a
severe energy crisis and the energy side
bottlenecks have corroded the economy of
the country in the past as well. To fix such
congestions and bottlenecks for the smooth
delivery of energy services, massive projects
were incorporated to the supply side in
between years 2013-20 through which 9,000
MW have been added alone through PPIB as
have been discussed in pre-pages:

Although the additional capacity added through PPIB has helped in easing the bottlenecks at
generation side, yet the transmission and distribution side congestion and inefficiencies are still
hampering the smooth and efficient delivery of energy services. The power generation plants
established through IPPS commissioned during 2013-20 and pipeline projects are located all over the
country covering areas from Chitral to Gwadar and AJ&K to Tharparkar thus for evacuation and
transmission of electricity from these plants to the load centers also require efficient and adequate
transmission infrastructure. Locations of recently commissioned and future projects as shown in the
below image indicate that country wide transmission network is required to be developed and
upgraded to cover long distance areas for efficiently accommodating new generation capacities.

Ensuring the adequacy and readiness of the National Transmission System to accommodate new
generating capacities is of paramount importance. Historically, in Pakistan, transmission sector has
been purely under the government control, and like other developing countries, Pakistan too has been
is facing funding constraints against substantial needs of upgrading and expanding inadequate and
inefficient infrastructure, operated with inadequate maintenance capacity as a result of which it suffers
from technical and distribution losses. Realizing such limitations against the task in hand which
requires massive investments, the GOP planned to induct private sector for development and
augmentation of transmission network and announced policy framework titled "Policy Framework for
