PROJECT OBJECTIVES:
The main objective is development of power sector to provide adequate facilities for the generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy keeping in view the present severe power shortage and future requirements for industrial, agricultural and economic development of the country.
The High Head Hydropower development at Matiltan will provide cheaper hydropower at competitively low cost. The Project with an installed capacity of 84 MW would generate an annual energy of about 346 GWh.
BENEFITS
OF THE PROJECT:
i.
FINANCIAL
It will produce an annual energy of 346 GWh. After deducting
auxiliaries and other losses 328.7 GWh will be available for sale. The Project
will earn revenue of Rs. 3237.6 Million per annum.
ii.
ECONOMIC
This Hydel Project after completion will produce energy at a very
low cost as compared to Thermal Power Project of equivalent capacity. The Project will result in reduced dependence
on thermal power option thereby saving foreign exchange.
The Project will assist to meet the industrial and agricultural
sector power demand for economic development
iii.
SOCIAL BENEFITS
The Project will assist to meet the domestic power demand of the
area. Ensured power supply will help promote health, education and other
infrastructural facilities as well as significant impacts on agricultural and
small industrial sector of the inhabitants. The revenues of Govt. would
increase due to direct and indirect taxation, duties and levies on the
production of goods and services that will result from the power generation
benefits within the Project area. Sales of electricity are the direct revenue
which will be collected by PEDO and return to the Government of Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa.
iv.
EMPLOYMENT
GENERATION (DIRECT / INDIRECT)
Indirect or the secondary benefits would include creation of employment opportunities and improved standard of living of the people of the area and vicinity. There will be multiple effects on socio-economic development of the region. Communication, infrastructures, livestock, forestry, cottage industry, livestock development and other opportunities would open up with construction of these proposed Projects.
ESTIMATED ANNUAL ENERGY TO BE EXPORTED:
328.7 GWh energy will be available for sale after deducting auxiliaries and other losses from total annual generation of 346 GWh. The Project will earn revenue of Rs. 3237.6 Million per annum.
NEPRA TARIFF:
Will be determined after issuance of generation license.
