Energy - IUCN

A list of industrial establishments using electricity was obtained from NAPWD. The
departments of industries, local government and rural development, union
councils have been the other sources of information. The hotels, tourists industry
operating on diesel in the area are expected to use electricity when more reliable
supplied are available. These are included in the total number of industries in the
region. Similarly new hotels and other tourist industries to be established would
meet their requirements provided under the annual increase projected for the two
decades separately in the non-electrified areas.
Detail information about the small industrial establishment during the survey of
the region. Any craft unit meeting the demand of the local community was
identified and listed.
Estimates of the likely number of industrial units in some of the centres have been
made taking into consideration the resource position on the area i.e. agriculture,
livestock, forestry and minerals.
6.2.7.2. Growth of the Industrial Consumption
The record of consumption of industrial establishment was studied. It appears that
growth in consumption in centres of category A1 and 'A' would be 12% to 10% in
the first decade (2000-2010) and 10% and 8% respectively in the second decade
(2003-2013). For centres of category 'B' the consumption is expected to grow
annually 8% in the first decade and 7% in the second decade.
6.2.8. System Losses
Line losses are more in this area as the load is generally scattered. Efforts are being
made to minimize the losses by improving the system. Some progress has been
achieved due to these efforts. It is assumed that energy loss reduction activities
would result in losses as follows:
Year Category A1 Category A, B and C
1993 25% 20%
2003 20% 18%
2016 18% 15%
42
This is the target for losses from generation to consumption under normal
circumstances.
6.2.9. Annual Load Factor and Hours of Utilization
Detailed calculation of the load factors in various power stations at Gilgit had been
worked out. Load factor in Gilgit Danyor, Juglote and Nomal has been studied. The
results show that the load factor was 81 percent in Gilgit, 53 percent in Juglote and
47.7 percent in Nomal under the conditions of significant load shedding resorted to
in the system.
Based on this analysis following hours of utilization have been projected for the
load centres.
