 PREFACE

Energy and water are the prime movers of human life. Though deficient in oil and gas,
Pakistan has abundant water and other energy sources like hydel power, coal, wind and solar
power.

The country situated between the Arabian Sea and the Himalayas, Hindukush and
Karakoram Ranges has great political, economic and strategic importance. The total primary
energy use in Pakistan amounted to 60 million tons of oil equivalent (mtoe) in 2006-07. The
annual growth of primary energy supplies and their per capita availability during the last 10
years has increased by nearly 50%. The per capita availability now stands at 0.372 toe which is
very low compared to 8 toe for USA for example.

The World Bank estimates that worldwide electricity production in percentage for coal is
40, gas 19, nuclear 16, hydro 16 and oil 7. Pakistan meets its energy requirement around 41%
by indigenous gas, 19% by oil, and 37% by hydro electricity. Coal and nuclear contribution to
energy supply is limited to 0.16% and 2.84% respectively with a vast potential for growth.

The Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) is vigorously carrying out
feasibility studies and engineering designs for various hydropower projects with accumulative
generation capacity of more than 25000 MW. Most of these studies are at an advance stage of
completion. After the completion of these projects the installed capacity would rise to around
42000 MW by the end of the year 2020. Pakistan has been blessed with ample water resources
but could store only 13% of the annual flow of its rivers. The storage is fast depleting due to
sedimentation. In contrast US has developed 497% storage capacity of annual flow of River
Colorado; Egypt possesses 281% of River Nile and India 35% on Sutlej-Bias Basin. All these
statistics warrant construction of number of reservoirs to enhance availability of water which
stands at 1070 cubic meter per capita. Anything below 1000 cubic meter tantamounts to a crisis
situation. The hydropower potential in Pakistan is over 100,000 MW with identified sites of
55000 MW. Currently, studies under way include Diamer Basha (4500 MW), Bunji (5400 MW)
and Kohala (1100 MW) amongst many others.

Pakistan with 185 billion tons of coal reserves, the fourth largest in the world, is under
utilizing this resource. In the overall energy mix, its share is only 7% as compared to world
average of 40%. Coal is the main source for producing cheaper electricity and the Government
has decided to enhance the share of coal in the overall energy mix of upto 18% in 2030. The
Government is striving hard to minimize the gap between consumption and generation of
electricity at affordable rate.

The Government Power Policies of 1995 and 2002 have encouraged many private sector
foreign and local investment through the Independent Power Producers (IPPs).
 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 groundwater.

Pakistan has a total 196.72 MA area out of that 72.70 is cultivable. The cultivated area
(Irrigated & Barani) has come to 52.31 MA, whereas 47.62 MA is area under all sort of
irrigation sources. (27 MA is the area under canal irrigation).

With large cultivable land base of 77 Million Acres (MA) of which only 27 MA are canal
commanded, Pakistan still has the additional potential of bringing about 20.39 MA of
virgin land under irrigation.

With increased population, Pakistan is fast heading towards a situation of water shortage
Per capita surface water availability was 5260 cubic meters in 1951when population was
34 million, which reduced to 1038 cubic meter in 2010 when the estimated population is
172 million. The minimum water requirement to being a "water short country" is 1,000
cubic meters. In the year 2012, Pakistan will have reached the stage of" acute water
shortage"

According to the 1960 Indus Water Treaty, signed between India and Pakistan with the
good offices of World / Bank, India was allowed exclusive rights to use waters of Ravi,
Sutlej and Beas rivers, whereas the waters of Western Rivers, Indus, Jhelum and
Chenab were assigned to Pakistan. Under the 1960 Treaty, the Indus Basin
Replacement Works comprising two major dams, 5 barrages and 8 link canals were
constructed to alleviate the problems. However, due to excessive sediment inflows in the
river water, all the three storages (Tarbela, Mangla, Chashma) are rapidly loosing their
capacities. By the year 2025, these storages would loose 37% (6.27 MAF) of their
capacity, which virtually means loss of one mega storage project.

An annual average of over 35.2 MAF escapes below Kotri varying from 9 MAF to 92
MAF. However this surplus water in the river system is available in about 70-100 days of
summer 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.

National demand of electricity has been and would keep on growing rapidly. Based on
the present generation capacity, the hydel:thermal mix in the country is 34:66, which is
almost the reverse of an ideal hydel - thermal mix, which should be 70:30 for overall
economic development of the Pakistan. Though induction of thermal generation initially
helped in overcoming load shedding, it resulted in substantial increase in power tariff.
Therefore, a sizeable injection of cheap hydropower through multipurpose storages is a
viable option to keep the cost of electricity within affordable limits.

To facilitate the process of economic development and to ensure greater 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.

At present the rated electric power generating capacity in Pakistan is only 18000 MW
with the demand growing at 10% annually. The average per capita consumption is only
482 units. Power shortage in the industrial, agricultural and domestic sectors has been
evident for the past few years with the shortage assuming critical proportions last year.
The water shortage is even more acute. To feed a population of nearly 172 million
people, existing water storage capacity of 15 Million Acre Feet (MAF) needs to be tripled
1
 in the years ahead so that the remaining 20 million acres of cultivable land can be
brought under plough. Water conservation and increased water productivity must also be
encouraged.

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. Countries
in Asia, Africa and the Americas have a storage capacity many times greater. 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.
This is apart from thermal power being developed by the private sector, Independent
Power Producers (IPPs) and the Government.

To achieve the above objectives the GoP through WAPDA and the private sector plans
to concentrate on the following water and power projects in the next few years: (i)
Construction of large dams including Diamer-Basha Dam for Public/Private Partnership
(ii) Construction of Medium/ Small Water Storage Dams (iii) Construction of Hydropower
Projects (iv) Construction of Canals (v) Protection of Irrigation Infrastructure (vi) Water
Conservation Strategies. 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.
HYDROPOWER PROJECTS
 DIAMER BASHA DAM PROJECT
GENERAL
Government of Pakistan decided to construct 5 multi-purpose storages in the country during next 10 -12
years. Diamer Basha Dam Project will be undertaken in the first phase. President of Pakistan performed
the groundbreaking ceremony of the project. Detailed engineering design of the dam and allied
structures is completed and tender documents are ready. Prequalification of contractors has been
started and contract for project implementation through five lots shall be advertised soon.

THE PROJECT
The project is located on Indus River, about 315 km upstream of Tarbela Dam, 165 km downstream of
the Gilgit-Baltistan capital Gilgit and 40 km downstream of Chilas (refer location map). The proposed
dam would have a maximum height of 272 m, and impound a reservoir of about 8.1million acre feet
(MAF), with live storage of more than 6.4 MAF. Mean annual discharge of Indus River at the site is 50
MAF. Thus the dam will impound 15% of the annual river flow. The dam project would cover an area of
110 km2 and extend 100 km upstream of the dam site upto Raikot Bridge on Karakoram Highway (KKH).

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. WAPDA offices and Colony including that of the
Consultants shall be in the Thor Nallah Valley in GB while the Contractor’s Camp and fabrication yard
and workshop shall be in NWFP

NEED OF THE PROJECT

Agriculture is the backbone of Pakistan’s economy. Pakistan today is among one of the World’s fastest
growing population, now estimated as over 150 million. Due to lack of large river regulation capability
through sizeable storages, the country is already facing serious shortages in food grains. Given the
present trend, Pakistan could soon become one of the food deficit countries in the near future.
Therefore, there is a dire need to build storages for augmenting agriculture production.

D
Tarbela, Mangla and Chashma reservoirs have already lost about 5.3 MAF due to sedimentation. It is
estimated that by year 2016, this loss would increase to 6.6 MAF, almost equal to the original combined
capacity of Mangla and Chashma reservoirs. Due to complete stoppage of any sizable multi-purpose
storage development after commissioning of Tarbela Dam in 1976, sustainability of existing irrigated
agriculture of Pakistan is in serious jeopardy.

The present demand of electricity in country is above 17,000 MW, which is estimated to cross 30,000
MW by the year 2017. A large-scale injection of power thus becomes inevitable. Hydropower will provide
the required electricity at affordable price. Contribution of 4500 MW power from Diamer Basha Dam will
go a long way in alleviating this situation.

Proposed Interconnection 132 kV line to Madyan Grid Station (110
km)
BACKGROUND

Feasibility Study of the project was carried out under the supervision of SHYDO by Sir William
Halcrow & Partners Ltd. UK in 1996. LOS for developing the project in the private sector was
issued by the Government of NWFP on 17-07-1996 under the 1995 Hydel Policy. It was
originally valid upto 16.01.98 and was extended from time to time and as per last extension, it
was valid until December 31, 2002 and its validity has now expired. The original LOS was
issued to M/s Sachal Engineering who later entered into partnership with M/s Synergic Hydro
Asia and proposed to develop the project with their collaboration.

However, the project development could not be started mainly because the up-front tariff
offered by GOP in the 1995 Hydel Policy was withdrawn in 1997 and subsequent tariff
negotiations failed to reach a satisfactory conclusion.

CURRENT STATUS

The foreign partners ( M/s Synergic Energy) of the sponsors have withdrawn and it does
not seem likely that they would be able to implement the project because of lack of
expertise/resources. However, the sponsors have not withdrawn their right to develop
the project.

In the last meeting held on 14-04-2008 under the chairmanship of Chief Minister, NWFP
to discuss the implementation of the project, WAPDA offered to implement the project
with the collaboration of the Government of NWFP. The GONWFP was to negotiate with
the sponsors for an amicable solution for implementation of the project.
