1. Introduction

Article 157 (2)(c) of the Constitution of Pakistan provides that the Government of a

Province may construct power houses and grid stations and lay transmission lines for use

within the Province. Also, Sections 18(A) & 18(B) of the amended NEPRA Act No. XL

of 1997 provides that the provincial governments are allowed to establish the provincial

grid companies subject to the approval and licensing by the federal regulator.

Punjab has the potential to develop power generation on the basis of different indigenous

resources such as solar, hydro, biomass, municipal solid waste and local coal etc.

Electricity production through these resources can be transmitted for Bulk Power

Consumers (BPCs) and other consumers use through the PGC.

Pakistan power sector is transitioning into an open electricity market. In future there will

be frequent B2B and off-grid electricity sale / purchase transactions. Provision of

transmission services to upcoming open market buyers / sellers by GoP entities (NTDC,

DISCOs) alone would be extremely difficult. Private businesses can acquire special

transmission license for a specified transmission facility only.

In Punjab number of IPPs retiring / maturing their PPA terms are willing to sell their un-

utilized power generation. Also new affordable and sustainable power generation in

Punjab can be utilized to deliver affordable / sustainable electricity to BPCs and other

consumers through PGC.

This Pre-qualification Document (PQD) enlists the criteria for consultancy firm/JV to be

shortlisted having expertise/experience in conducting feasibility for establishment of

Energy Sector Entities.

of PGC elaborating the need of PGC and to which areas it will cater along with power

market analysis in Punjab.
