Supply & Demand of ElectricityTotal Installed Capacity - 19404 MWSindh has an estimated hydropower potential of around 180 MWs based on various sites identifiedalong the Sindh canal network. The power generation potential varies from 2.29 MWs at Rohri to 33MWs at Guddu Barrage. The technical consultants have investigated feasibility of dams and otherwater reservoirs in the Kirthar mountain range of Sindh. This study indicated that owing to thenon-perennial flows only few of the sites in this region are suitable for run-of-river (ROR) hydropowerprojects. A number of locations like Nai Gaj Dam may be considered for power generation as part ofdam and storage reservoir project, but not as an independent run-of-river project. It is most likely thatsites on the canal headworks and fall regulators will be viable for the development of run-of-riverhydroelectricity preferably as a public-private partnership project. Studies have also identified sites onthe Rohri and Nara Canals as likely sites. Following table gives a snapshot of hydropower potential ofSindh:Sindh - The Land of Endless Opportunities
