I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1. Acute power shortages of up to 20 hours per day have crippled economic growth and
caused social unrest in Pakistan.1 The country needs affordable, dependable base-load power
to alleviate the shortage. Coal-fired power plants provide secure, inexpensive base-load power
in many countries. The project introduces supercritical coal-fired power generation, which is the
best available technology for Pakistan. The environmental impact of this technology would be
less than that of the existing heavy fuel oil (HFO)-fired power plants, and the more commonly
used subcritical coal-fired power generation technology. The project, which is the first stage of a
multi-stage government plan for this site,2 has three components: (i) construction and 5 years of
operational support for a 600-megawatt (MW) (net)/660-MW (nominal) supercritical coal-fired
unit, with state-of-the-art emission control devices at the Jamshoro Thermal Power Station
(TPS) in Sindh province; (ii) capacity development for coal-fired plant operations; and (iii)
environmental remediation of the existing power generation units and site.
A. Rationale
2. Pakistan is exploring all options to reduce power load shedding and power cost but has
few medium-term options for affordable, dependable power supply. Natural gas was the main
fuel used for Pakistan’s base-load power plants,3 but the country’s dwindling reserves of gas
have resulted in increasing use of high-cost imported fuel oil for power generation. This has
increased power generation costs and exacerbated the existing financial shortfall, both within
the sector and the national economy. Compared to existing, inefficient HFO-fired plants, the
higher efficiency supercritical generation units and diversification away from imported fuel oil will
enable Pakistan to increase its reliable supply of electricity and lower both costs and
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.4
3. Energy crisis. Pakistan’s energy crisis depresses its economic performance and fuels
social instability. Power shortages equaled about one-third of total demand (4,000–5,000 MW)
during most of fiscal year (FY) 2012.5 Increasing, unpredictable load shedding is estimated to
constrain annual gross domestic product (GDP) growth by at least two percentage points.
Small- and medium-sized enterprises that employ the largest number of people, but cannot
afford back-up electricity generators and fuel, experience the largest impact. GDP growth has
averaged 3% since 2007, while GDP growth of 7% is required to generate enough employment
to absorb new labor market entrants. Poverty reduction and provision of basic necessities to the
poor are immediate challenges for Pakistan. Low economic growth creates an environment for
recruitment by society’s radical elements. The government introduced, as a priority, the new

The government plans additional 600-MW supercritical coal-fired unit and conversion of existing units to
coal.
3
Gas-fired power generation overtook hydropower in 1996 as the main power source. The share of gas
in the thermal generation fuel mix has fallen from 56% (2006) to 44% (2011), while HFO increased from
42% to 54%.
4
The existing units at Jamshoro TPS use HFO and emit 930 grams of carbon dioxide (CO 2) per kilowatt-
hour (kWh). The project would emit 750 grams of CO2 per kWh and a subcritical unit 850 grams of CO2
per kWh. Backup generators used to reduce power shortages are substantially less efficient and emit
higher volume of CO2.

National Power Policy to tackle these issues. PRs480 billion (about $4.5 billion) was paid to fuel
companies and independent power producers to clear payment arrears. The government is
pursuing gas and power tariff rationalization and energy efficiency measures such as
conservation, transmission and distribution loss reduction, and rehabilitation of power plants.6
5. Lowering the generation cost. The government aims to increase coal-based power
generation while decreasing expensive HFO generation. This will require converting existing
HFO generation units and constructing new plants.9 The imported HFO costs several times
more than domestic or imported coal, and has higher sulfur content.10 Electricity generated from
coal, through medium-term fuel supply contracts, will also help stabilize the power price. The
National Power Policy includes plans to diversify the energy mix.
6. Renewable and gas-based generation. Improving energy security and affordability, the
government is pursuing large hydropower, gas, and other projects using domestic resources.
Pakistan has a low carbon footprint because of the large amount of hydropower and natural
gas-based power generation. However, hydropower’s contribution to total generation has
declined,11 and accounted for just 32% of power generated in 2012.12 Only 6,716 MW of a
potential of over 40,000 MW of hydropower has been tapped, making large hydropower plants
the ideal solution. Although large hydropower is the least cost solution, the high capital cost, the
long implementation period, and complex safeguard issues mean this is a long-term option.
Small and medium sized run-of-the-river hydropower plants have shorter construction periods

Measures in the National Power Policy are reinforced through agreement with International Monetary
Fund (IMF). IMF. 2013. Pakistan: 2013 Article IV Consultation and Request for an Extended
Arrangement Under the Extended Fund Facility. Washington D.C.
7
HFO-fired power accounts for 34% of the energy mix; at PRs15.94 per kWh, it makes up 77% of total
generation costs. In comparison, the hydropower cost was PRs0.16 per kWh, and gas PRs4.24 per
kWh (footnote 5). The cost-recovery tariff has risen from PRs5.5 per kWh in 2008 to PRs14.51 per kWh
in 2013.
8
The subsidies vary monthly according to the consumer mix, load factor, and whether a periodic fuel
price adjustment was applied during the period. The average tariff increased from PRs4.26 per kWh to
PRs8.81 per kWh in May 2012, and further to PRs 11.11 per kWh in August 2013.
9
Emissions for conversion from HFO to gas fired plants would vary according to the state of the existing
equipment. For the Jamshoro TPS oil-fired units, after conversion the emissions would increase to
1,172 grams of CO2 per kWh using imported sub-bituminus coal.
10
Fuel cost savings between a new HFO fired power generation plant and the project would be $535
million annually.
11
Hydropower’s share declined as follows: 72% (1980), 54% (1990), 35% (2000), 32% (2012).

but have seasonal and daily output variation which makes them unsuitable for base-load.13
Domestic gas-fired generation will decline from the current 26% with the depletion of existing
gas fields, and competing demand from industry, transport, and retail customers unless
domestic gas supplies are increased.14 The abundant wind and solar resources are being
developed, but their outputs are variable and would not meet the base-load requirements.
7. Power generation mix. Oil-fired power generation is expensive, and used for less than
5% of world generation. To be competitive economically, Pakistan cannot afford continued
reliance on expensive imported oil for 34% of power generation. Pakistan has one of the lowest
carbon emissions, 19% of the world’s average.15 Coal reserves in Pakistan may generate
10,000 MW of power for 350 years. Globally, coal-based power plants generate 40% of power,16
but account for just 0.07% of generation in Pakistan.17
8. ADB interventions. ADB is engaged in the energy sector through its four multitranche
financing facilities and private sector investments, which fund energy efficiency, transmission,
distribution, and renewable energy projects including eight hydropower and two wind power
projects.18 As the sector’s largest donor, ADB conducts policy dialogue on reforms, planning, and
provides sector assessments to the International Monetary Fund. Ongoing reforms follow the
recommendations of the Friends of Democratic Pakistan Energy Sector Task Force, which ADB
co-chaired with the government. The report addresses diversification of existing fuel sources.19
9. The project’s impact will be an enhanced energy supply in Pakistan. The outcome will be
a more efficient energy mix through diversification from expensive HFO to less expensive coal.
C. Outputs
10. The project will (i) increase capacity of the Jamshoro TPS by installing a 600-MW (net)
supercritical coal-fired unit, using an 80/20 blend of imported sub-bituminous coal and domestic
lignite when available,20 and provide 5 years of operation and maintenance (O&M) support; (ii)
ensure compliance with the national environmental standards (install emission control devices
13
Summer and winter output varies by around 3,000 MW. The government has spent $20 million for the
feasibility study of 4,500MW Diamer Basha Dam. The cost is estimated at $12 billion and construction
period of 10 years. Ranking of priority projects and sector roadmap are set out in Friends of Democratic

26. The financial management of JPCL is generally satisfactory especially on the accounting
policies and procedures and financial reporting which are in line with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) and of credible quality as the audit reports have been regularly
audited and audit opinion has been unqualified. Financial management of JPCL was carried out
using the ADB Financial Management Questionnaire (FMAQ). However, JPCL has not been
able to operate independently and commercially as its Board of Directors has ceased
functioning since 2010 even though it is a corporate entity. There is serious corporate
governance issue which needs to be addressed promptly. This will be addressed through the
Rehabilitation Plan which will be carried out according to the financial performance milestones.
JPCL’s organizational structure will be reviewed and adjusted in order to establish
accountability. Financial and management reporting will be automated with the introduction of
the Silicon Alley Group Enterprise Resource Planning (SAG ERP) system.
28
27. JPCL has accumulated a significant amount of losses which has resulted in negative
cash position and net asset value. JPCL’s revenue streams and cash flows are driven by tariffs
collected by DISCOs and transferred through the NTDC to the GENCOs. The prime collectors
of funds into the systems, the DISCOs, have been also facing with severe constraints such as a
high level of bad debts, and outstanding from GOP for subsidies which mean that the entire
system is cash-short at any given point in time. The quantum and timing of the cash inflow for
energy supplied to NTDC dictates the manner in which payments are made, the most significant
being the payments to the suppliers of fuel. As a result the JPCL is essentially financed by fuel
creditors, which is not a satisfactory situation. In addition, rapidly increasing losses, primarily
due to using the under cost recovery tariff and operating under optimal efficiency, have resulted
in a negative equity base which means that the GENCOs are facing severe liquidity risk. JPCL
requires financial rehabilitation to restore stable operating income, ensure sufficient cash flow,
and reduce, if not eliminate, accumulated losses to recapitalize its balance sheet. Furthermore,
if the situation does not improve, JPCL will not have sufficient cash to sustain the new
investment. The financial rehabilitation road map agreed is summarized in the following table:

28. The Project is expected to curtail losses with the envisaged capacity improvements and
efficiency improvement. However, this project will be the first ADB financed transaction and
PMU staff training will be necessary to be familiarized with ADB procedures. To bolster the
corporate and financial management capacities of EPP and to ensure governance in project-
related activities, the Project will include the following measures:
(i) Establish PMU, PIU and maintaining separate project accounts;
(ii) Conduct PMU and PIU staff training for ADB procedures (procurement and
disbursement)
(iii) Recruiting an international consulting firm to provide assistance in project
implementation;
(iv) Establishing a direct payment procedure and/or commitment procedure for
disbursements to contractors and consultants, and
(v) Project financial statements and entity-level financial statements annually audited
in accordance with international auditing standards by an external independent
auditor acceptable to ADB.
29. Overall control risks could be mitigated to medium level through various mitigation
measures. The financial risk assessment and mitigation measures are summarized in the table
below.
B. Disbursement
30. The loan proceeds will be disbursed in accordance with ADB’s Loan Disbursement
Handbook (2012, as amended from time to time),23 and detailed arrangements agreed upon
between the Government and ADB.
31. Pursuant to ADB's Safeguard Policy Statement (2009) (SPS),24 ADB funds may not be
applied to the activities described on the ADB Prohibited Investment Activities List set forth at
Appendix 5 of the SPS.
32. The Project uses direct payment and commitment letter procedures for all the contracts.
For the consulting services, direct payment method will be used. Reimbursement method may
be used when necessary. JPCL will prepare disbursement projections, collect supporting
documents, and prepare and send withdrawal applications to ADB and IsDB. . MOF will ensure
necessary funds are made available and/or in-kind contributions are made available for their
respective counterpart responsibilities.
33. Before the submission of the first withdrawal application, JPCL should submit to ADB
sufficient evidence of the authority of the person(s) who will sign the withdrawal applications on
behalf of the JPCL, together with the authenticated specimen signatures of each authorized
person. The minimum value per withdrawal application is US$100,000, unless otherwise
approved by ADB. JPCL is to consolidate claims to meet this limit for reimbursement claims.
Withdrawal applications and supporting documents will demonstrate, among other things that
the goods, and/or services were produced in or from ADB members, and are eligible for ADB
financing.

A. Background
73. Pakistan faces energy shortage that decreases industrial productivity and adversely
affects the social welfare of the people. To sustain economic growth and make it more inclusive,
a reliable supply of electricity is essential, as electricity is central to almost every aspect of the
country’s sustainable socioeconomic development. Uninterrupted supply of electricity supports
commerce and business, maintains and attracts industrial activities for job creation, and
enhances people’s well-being. Energy efficiency and diversification of energy mix away from
imported heavy fuel oil (HFO) to cheaper coal are, for Pakistan, the faster and cheaper ways to
increase electricity supply and to decrease generation cost.
74. The Jamshoro Power Generation Project (JPGP) will increase reliable power generation
and reduce power shortage through construction of one new supercritical coal-fired power unit
in Jamshoro Thermal Power Station (TPS). This will provide the power needed to help address
the country’s power shortage and improve reliability and enhance energy security by diversifying
the fuel mix.
75. GENCO Holding Company Limited (GHCL) intends to procure EPC turnkey contractors
to build the supercritical coal-fired power unit. The contractors will be responsible for design,
supply, delivery, erection, testing, commissioning of the new unit. The contractor is scheduled to
be mobilized in the first quarter of 2015. The proposed implementation consulting firm will be
recruited to assist GHCL in reviewing bidding documents and tender evaluation for the new
43
supercritical unit, supervising and monitoring the implementation progress of the project. GHCL
and Jamshoro Power Company Limited (JPCL) will assist the consultants in the onsite
coordination and data gathering. GHCL and JPCL will also provide all necessary assistance to
the consultants in liaising with other government ministries and agencies.
76. GHCL and JPCL will provide and make available to the consultants, free of charge, the
following facilities, services, equipment, materials, documents and information as required by
the consultants for carrying out the assignment:
