How Much Capacity Payment Did NEPRA Make to Each IPP and How Much Electricity Did Each IPP Produce?

🔳 The Real Truth Behind Pakistan’s Electricity Crisis and Capacity Charges Has Come to Light — Shocking Revelations from the NEPRA Report
▫
Until now, the general impression in Pakistan has been that most of the money collected from the public in the form of capacity charges goes to foreign companies or privately owned IPPs. However, this report makes it clear that the largest share of capacity charges actually belongs to the government sector itself. NEPRA’s figures show that during the second quarter of this year, meaning the three months from April to June, 40.4 percent of the total capacity charges, equivalent to Rs 190.7 billion, are going to power plants owned by the federal and provincial governments, while the share of foreign-owned power plants is only 26.5 percent.
▫
The government frightens the public by saying that if power agreements are terminated, Pakistan will face International Arbitration and that private agreements signed in the past have tied its hands. However, the April-to-June quarterly report contradicts this narrative. These figures show that a major reason for the crisis is the government’s own poor planning, administrative incompetence and mismanagement.
▫
Despite producing 95.2 percent less electricity at the modern thermal plant in Bhikki, 84.3 percent less at Trimmu and 86.6 percent less at Nandipur, heavy capacity payments are still being made. This indicates that either producing electricity through gas and RLNG is extremely expensive, or our transmission lines are not capable of carrying the full electricity generated by these plants. This situation shows that Pakistan’s power sector is suffering from severe mismanagement and poor planning. PPRA or fuel supply chain planning has completely failed.
Despite Neelum-Jhelum having a capacity of 964.5 MW, the supply of zero electricity shows that the project was completely shut down.
▫
Out of 105 projects, 70 are completely local or government-owned and have no connection with international agreements or foreign law. The government can immediately impose cheaper or better agreements on these projects under domestic laws.
▫
From April to June, electricity demand from factories, air-conditioners and household consumers reaches its peak. However, even during these months, 53.8 percent of the country’s total generation capacity remained unused, which shows the Structural Collapse of our electricity system.
This makes it clear that the real problem is not a shortage of electricity-generation capacity, but excessive power plants, poor planning and an inefficient system. We have installed power plants that are not required even during the peak summer season, yet throughout the year we have to pay heavy charges simply for their availability without taking electricity from them.
▫
Following this report, the government will have to immediately reassess its public-sector power plants, or GENCOs, and introduce economic reforms with local private plants so that the burden of more than 60 percent of capacity charges can be significantly reduced without touching international signing clauses.

Topic: How Can Pakistan’s Electricity System Be Fixed?
Title: How Much Capacity Payment Did NEPRA Make to Each IPP and How Much Electricity Did Each IPP Produce?
🔺 When institutions fail to provide the facts, the pursuit of truth becomes a public responsibility.
Written and Researched by: Syed Shayan
When I began researching IPPs around one and a half to two years ago, I understood an IPP to mean an independent private company that generated electricity. This understanding was not entirely baseless.
During Benazir Bhutto’s government, the official policy introduced in March 1994 was itself titled:
“Policy Framework and Package of Incentives for Private Sector Power Generation Projects in Pakistan”
In the preface to the official electricity policy, the Prime Minister also clearly wrote that the objective of the policy was to bring “foreign and domestic entrepreneurs,” meaning foreign and Pakistani private investors, into power-generation projects.
The World Bank also called Pakistan’s experience the “Independent Private Power Experience”
and used the words:
“Independent Private Power Projects”
for these projects.
In this phrase, Private, Power and Projects all begin with P. Even at that time, I used to wonder that when there are three Ps here, why do we call it IPP instead of IPPP?
Nevertheless, the basic concept in my mind was completely clear that an IPP was an independent private power project, regardless of whether its investment was Pakistani or foreign.
Then, in 2015, the Nawaz Sharif government opened the way for government power projects to also operate in IPP mode and provided them, through PPIB, with facilities similar to those available to private IPPs.
Even then, I thought that perhaps government projects were being called IPPs only for administrative convenience, but they would not be receiving all the financial benefits that had been designed for private or foreign investors.
After all, how could a foreign investor, a Pakistani private company and a government-owned power plant all be the same thing?
When NEPRA described Quaid-e-Azam Thermal Power Company, which is 100 percent owned by the Government of Punjab, as a “thermal Independent Power Producer,” I considered it routine government terminology and did not give it much importance.
However, when 105 power agreements were mentioned in the National Assembly two weeks ago and I separately analysed the ownership, agreements and payments of these projects, the ground slipped from beneath my feet.
I discovered that behind the IPP name were projects owned by the federal and provincial governments, power companies associated with military welfare institutions, completely Pakistani private companies, Pakistani and foreign joint ventures, and completely foreign-owned companies. All of them were receiving benefits and payments under their respective agreements.
However, the public has continuously been frightened with the claim that if any action is taken against IPPs, foreign investors will go to international arbitration and Pakistan will be disgraced. Ministers and senior officials have also continued repeating the same story.
Now the research has revealed that at least 70 of the 105 agreements relate to government-owned, military-welfare-related or completely Pakistani-owned projects. These projects cannot take Pakistan to foreign arbitration.
In this way, abuse and curses continued to be directed at an unidentified foreign IPP mafia, while under its cover our own government and Pakistani institutions also continued benefiting comfortably from the same system.
The report on capacity charges that you are currently reading covers payments for the three months of the second quarter of this year, from April to June 2026.
Look at how large the amounts shown as payable to individual power plants are for only these three months.
It should be noted that NEPRA listed all 105 projects and their amounts together in one place, but after considerable time and effort, I divided them into five separate categories or groups:
Government-owned
Military welfare
Fully foreign-owned
Joint ventures
Fully Pakistani private projects
This division now makes it completely clear how much money is going to each category or group.
The reality of the IPPs that we have collectively criticised turns out to be quite different. I hope this report will remove years of confusion and bring the real picture before the public.
Let us now look at the report.
