16th largest coal reserves in the world
175 billion tonnes sufficient to meet the country’s fuel requirements for centuries THIS NEW PUBLISH BY CPEC
.
The Thar coalfield is located in Thar Desert, Thar parkar District of Sindh province in Pakistan. The deposits - 16th largest coal reserves in the world, were discovered in 1991 by Geological Survey of Pakistan (GSP) and the United States Agency for International Development.
Pakistan has emerged as one of the leading countries - seventh in the list of top 20 countries of the world after the discovery of huge lignite coal resources in Sindh. The economic coal deposits of Pakistan are restricted to Paleocene and Eocene rock sequences. It is one of the world’s largest lignite deposits discovered by GSP in 90’s, spread over more than 9,000 km2. comprise around 175 billion tonnes sufficient to meet the country’s fuel requirements for centuries.

One of the Greatest Electrical Project 1,200 megawatts RLNG-fired plant to be set up in Muzaffargarh Azad Kashmir
(Special This is not a part of CPEC)
The Officially Government has decided to establish 1,200 Mega Watt (MW) RLNG-fired power plant in Muzaffargarh Azad Kashmir (Punjab) as part of its plan to eliminate power load-shedding in the country by stating of year 2018. The project was approved by the PPIB Board headed by Minister for Water and Power, Khawaja Asif, in its 109th meeting held onThursday 27rd Dec 2016.
The decision of establishing 1,200 Mega Watt (MW) RLNG based power project at Muzaffargarh Azad Kashmir, Punjab was taken in the light of the advice of the Cabinet Committee on Energy (CCoE) in its meeting held on September 16, 2016, wherein Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif lifted ban on RLNG-fired power plants China Pakistan Economic Corridors (CPEC) News.
Federal Government is already setting up two RLNG fired power plants in Punjab near the load centres whereas one similar is being established by the Punjab government.
The sources said, Prime Minister had directed the Ministry of Water and Power to initiate the process of advertisement through PPIB for inviting prospective investors for installation of 1,200 MW RLNG-fired power plants on IPP mode which could fulfil the following requirements
There are Followings are (CPEC News):
(i) give assurance for single cycle operations of power plant by March 2018 China Pakistan Economic Corridors (CPEC) News
(ii) be able to bring Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) as partners or with given commitment to provide turbines China Pakistan Economic Corridors (CPEC) News
(iii) be willing to start installation without financial close China Pakistan Economic Corridors (CPEC) News
(iv) be able to provide a performance guarantee for meeting timelines other than quality and standards China Pakistan Economic Corridors (CPEC) News.
According to sources, PPIB headed by Pakistan Minister for Water and Power, Khawaja Asif told to (CPEC News), in September this year 2016 had decided to put a ban on imported fuel projects but those interested in such projects were angered particularly the Punjab government. The Ministry of Water and Power argues that this policy is not feasible for the country in the long run, sources added. However, PPIB top brass was looking for room to "accommodate" imported fuel projects and for this purpose this issue was again raised in 106th board meeting held recently in the Ministry of Water and Power China Pakistan Economic Corridors (CPEC) News.
On September 15, 2016 Prime Minister had directed the Ministry of Water and Power to review the generation requirement rate due to increase in electricity demand on account of industrial growth and economic activities. Minister for Water and Power, Khawaja Asif said on Thursday that the current government believes in the policy of facilitating investors, and does not want them to face any hurdles or delays during the processing of their projects. He further added that in order to make electricity affordable, various short to medium and medium to long term power generation projects based on coal, hydro, RLNG, solar & wind are being established all across the country in private and public sectors.
Managing Director PPIB Shah Jahan Mirza gave a briefing to the Board on the 1,200 MEGA WATT (MW) RLNG-based power project being processed. He stated that the said project will be located at Muzaffargarh (Azad Kashmir) near the existing Muzaffargarh Azad Kashmir New Thermal Power Station of NPGCL having gas turbines based combined cycle technology. The power plant will have minimum annual availability of 93% percent China Pakistan Economic Corridors (CPEC) News.
Open Cycle Operation is scheduled to start by February, 2018 whereas the full Combined Cycle Operation will start by end 2018. This is a viable option to address the electricity demand supply gap in early 2018 and ensuring elimination of load shedding by that time. Fort herm ore, due to the highly efficient and state of the art technology of the plant, this will be able to replace old and retiring power plants in the public sector. Managing Director PPIB Shah Jahan Mirza said to (CPEC News) the RFP document for the project has been prepared and it will be advertised in the coming days, and bids will be invited through single stage, two envelope bidding approach China Pakistan Economic Corridors (CPEC) News.
