WAPDA POWER HISTORY

At the time of independence, Pakistan inherited 60MW of power generation capability
for a population of 31.5 million, yielding 4.5 units per capita consumption. Twelve
years later, when WAPDA was created in 1959, the generation capacity had increased
to 119 MW. By that time country had entered the phase of development, which
required a dependable and sold infrastructure, electricity being its most
significant part. The task of power dev elopement was undertaken by WAPDA for
executing a number of hydel and thermal generation projects, a matching
transmission network and a distribution system, which could sustain the load of
rapidly increasing demand of electricity.

The effects of WAPDA's professional approach to find the solution to multifarious

problems did not take long to show. After first five years of its operation by
1964-65, the electricity generation capability rose to 636 MW from 119 in 1959, and
power generation to about 2,500 MKWH from 781 MKWH. Number of consumers in 1959 to
688 thousand in 1965. As many as 609 villages had electricity supplied to them by
1959, increasing to 1882 in 1965. The rapid progress witnessed a new life to the
social, technical and economic structures of the country, mechanized agriculture
started, industrialization picked up and general living standards improved.

The task of accelerating the pace of power development picked up speed and by 1970,
in another five years the generating capability rose from 636 MW to 1331 MW with
installation of a number of thermal and hydel power units. In the year 1980 the
system capacity touched 3000 MW which rapidly rose to over 7000 MW in 1990-91. Now
the total generation capacity from WAPDA's own hydel and thermal sources after
completion of Chashma Hydro Power Plant plus generation from independent power
procedures stands at 15764 MW.

Nuclear power:
Nuclear power plants generate 14 percent of the world's electricity, but some
countries are more dependent on this power source than others. France relies on
nuclear for 75.2 percent of its electricity; the United States, about 20 percent.
Of the 31 countries in which nuclear power plants operate, only France, Slovakia,
Ukraine, Belgium, and Hungary use them as the source for a majority of the
country's electricity supply.
Pakistan: 5 reactors, 6.2%
