Electricity Basket Price & 2013 Power Policy Hammad Hashmi Advisor Technical (USAID) MWP

What is a Basket Price of Electrcity? The basket price of electricity may be defined as – “The price of energy mix from thermal, hydro, nuclear, wind, solar, or any other source by taking its weighted average cost.” It depends upon the economic and social conditions of a country or nation.

National Power Policy Specifications Standards Regulations Codes National Policy

Significant Points of 2013 Power Policy (Generation) Adequate Power Generation Capacity Cheap Generation and affordable Electrcity for all energy consumers Energy Efficiency Equipment and conservation culture Better usage of indigenous resources for power generation Efficient power plants induction

Significant Points of 2013 Power Policy (Distribution & Transmission) Create a cutting edge transmission network Minimize inefficiencies in the distribution system Minimize financial losses across the system Align the ministries involved in the energy sector and improve the governance of all related federal and provincial departments as well as regulators Reduction of theft culture

Targets of 2013 Power Policy Targets from 2013 to 2017 Reduction in demand & supply gap from 5000MW to 0 MW The end consumer price less than 10 cents/kWh The system line losses reduction from 21% to 16% Increase collection rate from 85% to 95%

Generation Strategy Better efficiency thermal power plants Renewable energy share which balances the end consumer price of less than 10 cent/kWh Privatization of public generation companies One window operation from PPIB

Transmission Strategy Reduction in transmission losses from 3.1% to 2.5% Primary transmission system from 500kV AC to ±500kV DC Bi-polar system Strengthening 220kV loop around major cities

Distribution Strategy Decrease in system losses from 17% to 12% Improvement in governance Induction of smart metering system Privatization of Distribution companies
