Investment Opportunity: Small Dams and ROR ProjectsGiven the acute shortage of electricity in Pakistan in general and in the province of Sindh in particular,and realizing the need for adequate power availability for economic development, the Governmentof Sindh decided to explore the possibility of generating electricity by tapping into the vast network ofbarrages and canals in Sindh. Under the provisions of the Power Policy, 2002 independent powerprojects (IPPs) above 50 MWs can only be initiated at the federal level whereas 50 MWs or below canbe initiated at the provincial level. However, the Constitution gives the right to provinces to implementprojects of any size if the provinces are themselves involved in the projects. Therefore, a province canprocess and implement a project larger than 50 MWs if it owns the project in its entirety or it developsa project on public-private partnership mode. Government of Sindh intends to explore thehydropower resources available in Sindh and initiate small dams and run-of-river hydropower projectsunder public-private partnership mode.Sindh - The Land of Endless Opportunities
