WATER AND POWER SECTOR DEVELOPMENT 

� Irrigated agriculture is the backbone of Pakistan's economy. The agriculture sector is the major user of water 

and its consumption will continue to dominate the water requirements. Direct rainfall contributes less than 15 

percent of the water supplied to the crops. The major user of water for irrigation is the Indus Basin Irrigation 

System. About 105 Million Acres Feet (MAF) out of 155 MAF of surface water is being diverted annually for 

irrigation while around 48 MAF is pumped from ground. 

� Pakistan has a total of 197 million acres (MA) area out of which 73 MA is cultivable. The cultivated area 

(Irrigated & Barani) is 52 MA, whereas 48 MA is irrigated. With large cultivable land base of 73 MA of which 

only 27 MA is canal commanded, Pakistan still has the potential of bringing about 20 MA of rain fed land 

under irrigation. 

� With increased population, Pakistan is fast heading towards a situation of serious water crises. Per capita 

surface water availability was 5,260 cubic meters in 1951 when population was 34 million, which has reduced 

to 1,038 cubic meter in 2010 when the estimated population is 172 million. 

� Due to excessive sediment inflows in the river water, all the three storages (Tarbela, Mangla, Chashma) are 

rapidly losing their capacities. By the year 2025, these storages would lose 37% (6.27 MAF) of their capacity 

which virtually means loss of one mega storage project. 

� An annual average of over 32 MAF water escapes below Kotri varying from 0.3 to 92 MAF. However this 

surplus water is available for about 70-100 days of summers only. To save and utilize available water, 

construction of additional storage facilities is essential for sustainable irrigated agriculture which supports 

about 70% of the population of Pakistan. 

� At present the installed power generation capacity is 20,982 MW. However, the dependable capacity is 

19,421 MW out of which 6,516 is being produced through Hydropower, 3,580 by Government (GENCOs), 

9637 by Independent Private Power Producers (IPPs) and Private Rental. Gap in demand and supply which 

rose to 5,000 MW in summer depicts acute power crises. The demand of power is currently about 20,000 

MW which will rise to 36,000 MW in the year 2015. In order to bridge the energy gap the new hydropower 

projects are of vital importance. 

� At present the hydel/thermal mix is 32:68% whereas it should be the other way round. Though induction of 

thermal generation initially helped in overcoming load shedding, it resulted in substantial increase in power 

tariff. Therefore, a sizeable injection of cheaper hydropower through multipurpose storages is the only viable 

option to keep the cost of electricity within affordable limits. 

� It is an economically unsustainable fact that the total water storages capacity in the country is only 15 MAF 

representing 13% of the total annual flows of 136 MAF. To address this problem the Government of Pakistan 

(GoP) is developing feasibility and detailed engineering studies for nearly 20 MAF of water storage and 

25,000 MW of hydel power. 

� To facilitate the process of economic development and to ensure greater economic and social stabilization in 

Pakistan, it is imperative that employment creation and poverty reduction issues are addressed on priority. 

Additional water storages and power generation would form the basis of this strategy during the next decade. 

In the next few years: (i) Construction of large dams including Diamer-Basha during 2011 (ii) 

Construction of Medium/Small Water Storage Dams (iii) Construction of Canals (iv) Construction of 

Transmission Lines for dispersal of Power from Hydropower Project to Load Centres of National Grid 

would be priority issues. These projects would create additional water storages, generate cheap 

indigenously developed electricity and prevent flood damages. All these measures would also ensure food 

security, employment generation and above all poverty alleviation. 

� Due to financial constraints, WAPDA has received only Rs. 9.5 billion out of its allocation of Rs. 27.5 billion 

under the PSDP for the year 2009-10 which indicates that the ongoing projects would be delayed, resulting in 

cost overrun and denying the desired benefits. The financial constraints continued in FY 2010-11 and 2011- 

12 when PSDP was reduced from Rs.15.365 Billion to Rs.9.693 Billion and Rs.20.115 Billion out of which 

11.977 Billion has been released so far. In view of this financial constraint, WAPDA has made efforts in 

generating financial resources during the current year for its projects which are of critical national importance. 

USAID has signed agreement with WAPDA Repair and Maintenance of Units 1,3 &4 of Tarbela Power House 

US$ 16.5 million in year 2010. Besides it also signed Gomal Zam (Power & Irrigation Portion) and Satpara 

Dam (Power Portion) on 7.1.2011 & 5.10.2011 for providing US$ 80 million and US$ 26 million 

respectively. USAID has released US$ 50.089 million for Gomal Zam Dam, US$ 21.485 Million for 

Satpara Dam Project and US$ 10.210 Million for Repair & Maintenance of Units 1,3 & 4 of Tarbela Dam 

Project. The assistance from USAID came at the most appropriate time helping WAPDA to complete these 

projects. In addition WAPDA has proposed Diamer Basha Dam, Kurram Tangi Dam, Upgradation of Mangla 

and Warsak Power Stations and Training and Capacity Building as new projects for the assistance from 

USAID.

GOMAL ZAM DAM PROJECT 

Location On Gomal river in South Waziristan Agency, West of Tank and D.I.Khan District of Khyber 

Pakhtunkhwa.. 

This project is located at Khajuri Kach on Gomal River in South Waziristan Agency about 60 km west 

of Tank and being constructed as a Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) dam. WAPDA has conceived 

this project for the uplift of Tribal Areas particularly of South Waziristan Agency. This dam will store 

1 MAF of water and irrigate 163,000 Acres of land, besides generating 17 MW of electricity. The 

project has been awarded to M/s Frontier Works Organization (FWO) of the Army, M/s Sinohydro 

(China) and M/s TEKSER (Turkey) are its joint partners. To execute a development project in militant 

infested area of South Waziristan, was a difficult task but WAPDA and its partners made all-out efforts 

for the continuation of work on this project. It is near completion as almost 90% work is completed. Due 

to paucity of development funds, completion could not be achieved. An additional funding of Rs3.0 

billion/US$35 million would complete this project to bring significant impact on the people of South 

Waziristan to generate economic activity, conducive for peace and catalyst for national production.

REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE OF UNITS 1, 3 & 4 OF 

TARBELA DAM 

WAPDA operates Tarbela Hydroelectric Power Station having total installed capacity of 3478 

MW from 14 Generating Units installed on three Power Tunnels. The plant is capable to 

deliver upto 3700 MW during high flow months of summer but sometimes fails to reach its 

maximum capacity due to the several reasons e.g. Generator windings for Units 1, 3 & 4 (175 

MW each) have developed problems due to aging; there is shortage of essential spare parts 

for extensive maintenance of Generating Units, and maintenance skills are deficient due to 

lack of training. 

An assistance agreement for implementation of Emergency Supplemental Funding has been 

concurred between Government of Pakistan through Ministry of Water & Power and USAID. 

The Implementation Letter (IL) dated January 13, 2010 commits an amount of US$16.5 million 

for carrying out a program to support the Project Funding will be provided through 

Reimbursement Agreement to be signed with WAPDA. The activity is estimated to be 

completed within 24 months from date of IL. Agreement was signed with USAID in May 2010. 

Accordingly, WAPDA has planned to implement a short term Repair & Maintenance program 

which includes replacement of old Class-B Winding of Generators 1, 3 & 4 with the latest 

Class-F Winding which will enhance output of these machines under overload conditions by 

about 100 MW and additional energy generation of 200 GWh per year. Reliability of the Power 

Plant is also likely to increase due to replacement/upgradation of some old systems. 

An agreement has been signed between GoP/WAPDA and USAID for an assistance of $16.5 

million for this project. The hydropower equipment for Rehabilitation of Tarbela Power House 

(1 st Trench) has been arrived at Tarbela. Unit 4 has been rehabilitated and generating 195 

MW as against 87 MW generating earlier and Unit 1 has also been rehabilitated and 

generating 195 MW as against 175 MW generating earlier. Rehabilitation work of Unit 3 is 

started from February 17, 2012 and is in progress. 

USAID has signed an agreement with WAPDA to provide US$ 16.5 Million for the Project. USAID 

has released US$ 11.250 Million so far.

DIAMER BASHA DAM PROJECT 

Diamer Basha Dam Project the first mega dam project conceived after Tarbela Dam Project at a cost of 

US$ 11.178 billion will play significant role in the economic development of Pakistan. The project is 

located on Indus River, about 315 km upstream of Tarbela Dam, 165 km downstream of the Gilgit- 

Baltistan (GB) capital Gilgit and 40 km downstream of Chilas. The proposed dam would have a 

maximum height of 272 meters, and impound a reservoir of about 8.1million acre feet (MAF), with live 

storage of more than 6.4 MAF and produce 4500 MW of power generation. The mean annual discharge 

of Indus River at the site is 50 MAF. Thus the dam will impound 15% of the annual river flow. It will 

extend the life of Tarbela Reservoir by blocking the sediments and additional annual Generation at 

Tarbela would be 1111GWh. With the creation of massive infrastructure leading to overall socioeconomic 

uplift of the area and better standard of living of people, this project will generate employment 

opportunities, particularly to the locals, during the construction and operation. The dam is located at the 

boundary of Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) and North Western Frontier Province (NWFP) in such a way that the 

right abutment and the right Power House is in GB while the left bank of the dam and the left Power 

House is in NWFP. ECNEC has approved this project at a cost of Rs.894,257 million (US$ 11.178 

billion). The Project will pay back its cost in 8 years with an EIRR of 18%. 

WAPDA carried out the feasibility of Diamer Basha Dam Project from 2002 to 2004 and Detailed 

Engineering Design from 2005 to 2008. during this period field investigations comprising of Drilling, 

Aditing, Field Testing & Topographic Survey also carried out. WAPD spent US$ 58.734 million on these 

works including Consultancy charges, Admn & other expenses. 

WAPDA started the Land Acquisition process in 2010-11. an amount of US$ 25 million has been paid to 

Government of Gilgit-Baltistan for Land Acquisition. The priority land for project colony infrastructure 

and Land for one model village for the affectees has been acquired. The acquisition of Land for Dam 

foot prints, other structures and the reservoir is in progress. The required land would be acquired in 

three years with an estimated cost of US$ 513.37 million. 

WAPDA intends to start the construction of infrastructure; WAPDA Offices, Consultants Office WAPDA 

Colony roads etc. Model Villages, Right Bank Periphery road and relocation of KKH in project area 

before the start of the main project which shall require US$ 461 million. 

Construction of small Hydropower Stations on Nullahs for providing power during construction of Main 

Dam and project colony / model villages shall require funding of tune of US$ 43.925 million. 

Implementation of the Diamer Basha Dam appurtenant structures shall be through international

CURRENT DEMAND 

The project was placed in the FODP conference, wherein the Donors assured their commitment to fund 

this project. Middle East Donors, particularly Islamic Development Bank (IDB)/Saudi Fund and Kuwait 

Fund, has consented for a financial assistance of US$ 2 billion whereas Supplier’s Credit will be 

available for US$ 2.5 billion for the supply of electro-mechanical equipment. WAPDA expects US$ 1.0 

billion shortfall in its financing plan and accordingly USAID is requested to extend US$ 1.0 billion 

Financial Assistance for this project over a period of five years for the execution of initial civil works and 

land acquisition for this mega project. Keeping in view the urgency of the situation, an amount of US$ 

200 million is required on priority basis for the year 2011-12 is requested.

REPAIR & MAINTENANCE OF TARBELA POWER 

STATION 

Tarbela Dam is one of the world’s largest earth and rock filled dam. It is one of the world 

greatest resources development projects built on one of the world’s largest river Indus called 

Abbasin or Father of Rivers. Tarbela Power Station is located on the right bank of river Indus. 

Power Station is equipped with fourteen generating units having total capacity of 3478 MW. It 

is the biggest hydel power station completed in four phases since 1977 to 1993-93. 

The total power potential of the station is 3478 MW with 14 generating units constitutes about 

25~35% of the total power presently generated in the country. 

The existing equipment of Tarbela Power Station are in service since commissioning and 

reliability of most of the equipment have considerably been reduced and the station 

desperately require planned repair and maintenance programme. 

The planned repair and maintenance programme will enhance reliability and will ensure 

smooth operation of the station by minimizing prolonged and forced outages in one way or the 

other. The sever power crises in the prevailing situation have created energy crises and 

ultimately lead to public unrest and put the country economic stability at stake due to 

prolonged interruption. 

The procurement of spares/equipment demanded under additional requirement will enhance 

the reliability of the station in the following manner : 

• Help to improve the reliability factor of the plant. 

• To minimize forced outages. 

• Help to reduce the energy crises. 

• To improve the availability of units. 

• Will enhance the life of units. 

The close analysis shows that the proposed R&M programme of Tarbela Power Station will 

earn WAPDA 1973 Million KWH per month or Rs.19730 Million/US$ 232 Million per month. 

� If power transformer of Units 1~10 goes out of order due to some fault, the relevant unit 

will also remain out till the availability of the transformer. The authority in shape of 

revenue will suffer 0.412 Million US$ per day and the station utilization factor will also 

go down by 5% at least. 

Similarly, if power transformer of any unit from Units 11~14 goes out or order due to 

fault then the authority will suffer by a loss of 0.819 Million US$ per day till the 

availability of new power transformer. 

� If 220KV breaker of unit is develops fault, the relevant unit will remain out till the 

availability of breaker. The station and authority will suffer 0.412 Million US$ per day till 

the availability of the breaker. Also utilization factor of the station will reduce by 5% at 

least. Similarly if breaker of 220KV transmission line develops fault, the station and 

authority will suffer a revenue loss of 0.37 Million US$ per day till the availability of the 

breaker. 

� If stator core of a unit is damaged, then the authority will duffer a revenue loss of 0.412 

Million US$ per day till the availability and erection of the new stator. 

� If 2 Nos. 30 ton bridge cranes for lifting the rotor of Units 1~10 goes out of order, then 

no alternate arrangement is available for lifting the rotor and the unit will remain out till 

37

the availability or procurement and installation of new cranes. The authority will suffer a 

huge loss of amount till the availability of the cranes. 

� 230V DC battery system comprising of 115 cells if went out of order, then protection 

system of all Units 1~10 will not work and the units will remain shut down till the 

availability of new batter set. The authority will suffer a revenue loss of huge amount. 

Estimated Cost US$ 100 million 

Request for US Assistance US$ 100 Million

UP-GRADATION AND REFURBISHMENT OF 

GENERATING UNITS OF MANGLA POWER STATION 

Mangla Dam Project completed in 1967 is located on River Jhelum at about 120 Km from Islamabad. 

The Power House was completed in four stages, the initial phase comprising four units of 100 MW 

each was completed in 1967~1969. The first extension of Units 5~6 (2X100 MW) was completed in 

1974 while second extension comprising units 7~8(2X100 MW) was completed in 1981. The project 

attained its maximum capacity of 1000MW with the final extension of units 9&10(2X100 MW) in 1993- 

94. 

Mangla reservoir capacity reduced to 4.674 MAF from 5.88 MAF due to sedimentation. As such 

Raising of Mangla Dam height by 30 ft. was carried out (2004~2009). The Project will provide 

additional water storage of 2.88 MAF, increase of water head by 40 ft and additional power generation 

of 644 GWh per annum will be achieved. 

In the light of increase in aforesaid parameters, WAPDA intends to carry out a Feasibility Study for Upgradation 

& Refurbishment of the old Generating Units and Allied Equipment of Mangla Power Station 

to ensure their optimized, reliable and sustainable operation in the Post Raised Mangla Dam Scenario. 

Electrical & Mechanical Equipment after having spent nearly 40 years of their useful lives have 

deteriorated due to aging effects resulting in reduction of efficiency and dependability. 

The Feasibility Study is aimed to assess the present operating conditions of existing Civil Structures & 

Plant Machinery, Study of various options of Refurbishment of E&M Equipment and to recommend the 

most viable option for Up-gradation / Refurbishment of Power House Generating Units for achieving 

optimum benefits as a result of enhanced water availability and increased head after Mangla Dam 

Raising. 

PROJECT COST 

Cost of the Consultancy Services for Feasibility Study is US$ 2.0 Million. 

Total cost of the Rehabilitation Project is estimated to be US $ 518 Million. 

PRESENT STATUS
