Issuer: National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA). This notice announces a Licensee Proposed Modification (LPM) to the Generation Licence of K‑Electric Limited (KE) seeking approval to add indigenous natural gas as a primary fuel option for the Bin Qasim Power Station III (BQPS‑III) alongside existing allowances for RLNG and High Speed Diesel (HSD). The Registrar invites stakeholders, interested persons and the public to submit comments, objections or representations.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Modify KE's Generation Licence to permit use of indigenous gas as a primary fuel for BQPS‑III (in addition to RLNG and HSD). |
| Proposed change | Addition of indigenous gas as a primary fuel; authorization for SSGC to act as gas supplier for BQPS‑III. |
| Rationale / Reasons provided | Gas turbines at BQPS‑III are currently restricted to HSD because RLNG has been unreliable/unavailable; enabling indigenous gas aims to reduce fuel costs, improve efficiency and availability, and lower consumer tariff impact. |
| Operational/Regulatory notes | KE states it has initiated a project to enable operation on indigenous gas; the modification is intended to allow less costly fuel options and maintain service during RLNG unavailability. |
| Stakeholder action required | Interested stakeholders and the general public may file comments, objections or representations in response to the LPM. Documents are available on NEPRA's website. |
| How to submit | Submit written comments/objections to the Registrar, NEPRA (address, phone, fax, email below) and refer to the LPM filing on NEPRA's website. |
| Reference / Related documents | Generation Licence No. GL‑04/2002 and NEPRA Licensing (Application, Modification, Extension and Cancellation) Procedure Regulations 2021 (the "Licensing Regulations"). |
