National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) invites stakeholders and the general public to comment on a Licensee Proposed Modification (LPM) submitted by K‑Electric (KE) to its Generation Licence (GL/04/2002). KE seeks approval to add indigenous natural gas as a primary fuel (alongside RLNG) for Bin Qasim Power Station‑III (BQPS‑III) and to include Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) as a gas fuel supplier for BQPS‑III.
| Issuer | National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) |
|---|---|
| Licence / Entity | Generation Licence of K‑Electric Limited (GL/04/2002) |
| Proposed modification | Add indigenous gas as a primary fuel for BQPS‑III alongside RLNG; designate Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) as gas fuel supplier. |
| Rationale / reasons given | Gas turbines at BQPS‑III are currently supplied primarily with RLNG (with HSD as alternate). Positive discussions with SSGC and Ministry of Energy (Petroleum) indicate availability of indigenous gas. Conversion is intended to lower fuel costs, reduce reliance on imported fuels, and improve operational flexibility (e.g., during RLNG unavailability). |
| Impact on tariff & plant costs | KE states addition of indigenous gas will significantly reduce fuel costs. KE will file a tariff modification to include project costs in the plant's Regulatory Asset Base and to reflect efficiency and capacity gains (including compressor effects) and cost savings. |
| Impact on service & performance | KE indicates the change will be beneficial — reducing fuel costs and helping KE meet licensed obligations more effectively. |
| Stakeholder action | All stakeholders and interested/affected persons are invited to submit comments on the LPM within fourteen (14) days from the date of publication. The LPM and related documents are available on NEPRA's website. |
| How to submit comments / contact | Registrar NEPRA, NEPRA Tower, Attaturk Avenue (East) G‑5/1, Islamabad. Tel: 9206500; Fax: 2600026; Email: [email protected]. Documents: https://www.nepra.org.pk/ (LPM page referenced). |
| Notes | Submission or communication of the LPM and its acceptance for consideration does not imply NEPRA approval. |
Please refer to the official NEPRA notice and the full LPM documents on NEPRA's website for complete details and to confirm the exact timeline for submissions.
