October 17, 2019 (MLN): In order to be self-sufficient in the generation of Re-gasified Natural Gas (RLNG), Karachi Electric Limited (KEL) is planning to setting up a 900 MW RLNG power plant at its Bin Qasim Power Complex with an up-gradation of associated transmission infrastructure along with the construction of four grids.

As per the Directors’ report of KEL, published by Ismail Iqbal Securities, the planned BQPS-III project comprises two 450 MW units, running on the Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) configuration.  Moreover, KE is also in progress for the procurement of RLNG for the project.

Earlier in June 2019, KE signed an agreement with National Transmissionon & Despatch Company (NTDC) and Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA) for the purchase of 150 MW additional power from three wind power plants situated in the Gharo area to bridge the demand-supply gap for the next three to four years.

Furthermore, KE is planning for a 450 MW RLNG-based power plant in Karachi and a 100 MW of solar generation in the Baluchistan area.

In addition, the company is also in negotiations with Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC), NTDC and CPPA for import of 500 MW power at 500 kV voltage level from the currently under-construction nuclear power plants KANUPP II/III.
