1) The Nandipur Power Project is a 425MW power plant located in Gujranwala, Punjab, Pakistan that was completed in March 2015 after initially being proposed in 2008.
2) The plant was built to address Pakistan's growing power shortfalls and was constructed by China Dongfang Electric Corporation and financed by the Punjab government.
3) However, the project faced major cost overruns, increasing from an initial cost of Rs.23bn to a final cost of Rs.57.4bn, and operational issues that led to high per-unit costs of Rs.12 compared to other plants.
4) A subsequent investigation found Rs.80bn in irregularities in the project, including delays

Area of Serving Punjab Location Nandipur, Gujranwala, Punjab, Pakistan Operational Since March,2015 Usage Primary: RLNG, Secondary: Furnace Production Capacity 425 MW Cost Initially Rs.27bn but project finished at Rs.58.42bn Need & Decisions Power Shortfall in 2008 15% less than Demand Power Shortfall in 2013 Demand: 15,000MW; Supply: 9500MW, 5300MW Shortfall So, there was need of this Power Plant and project resumes in 2013 Production Capacity 425 MW (with potential of 525 MW) This was first proposed in 2008 Constructed by China Dongfang Electric Corporation Financed by Punjab Government Initial Cost Rs.23bn with 10% down payment to Dongfeng Final Cost Due to delays, project ended at Rs.57.4bn Structure of Plant (Feasibilty) It can be ran in both Simple Cycle and Combined Cycle Modes It consists of 3 gas turbines and 1 steam turbine GE (France) gas turbines, three, with capability of 4.95MW each DEC (China) steam turbine, one, with 138.8 MW capability It will produce 425MW on Furnace Oil and 460MW from Natural Gas Heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), Balance of Plant (BOP) equipment (like pumps and motors), and others have been supplied by DEC from China HSFO has been used instead of LSFO, which damages combustion system On-site ten oil storage tanks, each of 10,000 ton capacity, Eight for furnace oil and two for HSD, supported with a fuel oil treatment plant Plant system performance is not in compliance with Design Specifications and Contractual Obligations Cost of Plant (Implementation) Cost Discrepancies $847.016m Final Cost $574m quoted by government $329m approved by ECC

Per Unit cost
Rs.12 per Unit Monitoring The O&M cost of other thermal power plants was average Rs0.02500 (Muzaffargarh plant), Rs0.06890 (Guddu plant) and Rs0.13590 (Jamshoro plant) per unit (kWh) But Nandipur Costs Rs.12 per Unit Company wasn’t even asked to ensure Guaranteed Working of Plant and Machinery as defined efficiency parameters after 18-24 months of COD Lots of Data given by NEPRA is forged and doesn’t tells the real story which is happening now Irregularities Rs. 80bn in Irregularities Rs.17bn Loss is being caused Delays in Finalization costed Rs.4.5bn Rs.3.8bn were lost due to non conversion to gas from furnace oil Irregular and Excessive Payments costed Rs.1.2bn Contract in violation of Procurement Rules cost Rs. 46bn Other losses, the irregular appointment of the managing director of the project, uneconomical generation, poor performance and the illegal resumption of work with blacklisted firm M/S Dongfang loan agreement of Rs5.3 billion with Local Banks Summary of Presentation
