Pakistan Energy 2035-FINAL 20th October 2014

Pakistan Energy Vision - 2035commissioned by June 2007 is not only negligible but the delay in completion of 1,848 MWNeelum Jehlum, Chakothi-Hattian projects in Azad Kashmir and Kohala project on Jehlum,scheduled to be commissioned in 2010 is the clear evident of lack of interest in pursuing thesehydro power projects. Had all these projects been implemented, Pakistan would have had added4,210MW of cheap hydroelectricity in the national grid.1.2.7 High Transmission and Distribution (T & D) LossesThe analysis of line losses by region shows variations in the amount of losses experienced indifferent areas of Pakistan. Bannu district shows the highest losses throughout the country,with 56.9% followed closely by northern Sindh and west side areas of KPK (31-40%). Turbat,Naseerabad (Baluchistan), Hayatabad (Sindh) experience 21-30% losses. Least losses werefound in Punjab and Kallat (Baluchistan).It is clearly evident from the map that divisions within Circles that lie in the north westernregion of Pakistan are experiencing one of the highest percentages of line loss. Line losses inBannu Circle are unimaginably high, with the highest line loss of 63.6% in division Bannu-ll.Whereas other circles on the east of Pakistan have managed to keep the line losses relativelyunder control, with mostly below 20% line loss. Towards the south line losses start to riseagain.The impact borne on the economy by line losses would be better comprehended if the monetarycost incurred is calculated. In the year 2012-13, electricity received was 52998.39 M.Kwh units,and a loss of 8197.03 M.Kwh units, making percentage lost to be 15.5%. Had percentage lostremained same for the year 2013-14 as it was in the previous year, the expected line losseswould have been 8810.25 M.Kwh units, whereas the actual loss in 2013-14 has come around8638.40 M.Kwh units. Therefore, from 2012-13 to 2013-14 percentage lost has decreased by0.3%, which has accounted for 171.85 M.Kwh units (8810.25 minus 8638.40) to be saved. In27 | P a g e
