While the allegations continue, the government has ordered an investigation into the failure of

Nandipur's most powerful institution, including an audit by the Auditor General of Pakistan (AGP), and a
full report by a private chartered accountant, the government has ordered an investigation into the
failure of Nandipur's most powerful institution. auditing by the Auditor General of Pakistan (AGP), as well
as a complete report by an independent accountant company. Also, the National Accountability Bureau
(NAB) has reportedly begun an investigation into the Nandipur project. The nation is eagerly awaiting the
outcome of these questions. start = o ns = "urn: schemas-microsoft-com: office: office" />

Improper planning, lack of transparency, ineffective monitoring, maladministration, and, above all,
government laxity in the face of the failure of Nandipur's more expensive 425MW power project,
GENCO's Northern Power Generation Co Ltd (NPGCL) project III. This project is very strategic as it would
reduce the huge power outages nationwide if it were to operate as planned. Today, the plant is no longer
economically viable as, even if the plant is active, it will continue to suffer huge losses of billions of
dollars every year. Long delays in the completion of the project have already resulted in a loss of R33
billion in national funds up to April 2012, and an additional R055 billion from April 2012 to August 2013,
and figures for this loss are not available. The cost of opportunity and economic losses are beyond
measure.

However, the most important issue is the failure of the power station to operate for technical reasons, as
well as the risks and high costs involved when used under the given conditions. In fact, the Nandipur
project case is similar to the provision of 75 faulty trains in Pakistan Railways by the same company
(Dongfang Electric Corporation, DEC) under an agreement signed in 2009, a Chinese company that was
finally blacklisted in June 2013. Or, as a 150MW Lakhra coal-fired power station installed by the same
company (DEC, China) in the 1980s that had experienced technical problems from the beginning and was
no longer recovering, resulting in a reduced 25-30MW capacity.

The Nandipur power station can operate both in simple cycles and in integrated circuit modes. It consists
of three GE (France) PG9171E 95.4MW power generators, and one DEC (China) power station
N2008.54 / 522 of 138.8MW, producing 425MW of furnace oil and 460MW in natural electricity.
(Amendment 1 & 2 In an agreement reached by the current government in August 2013 it increased the
plant capacity to 425MW). HRSG), HRSG), Balance of Plant (BOP) equipment (such as pumps and
motors), transformers, associated equipment and integrated accessories and ancillaries are also
provided by DEC from China, under the credit of suppliers . provided these GE turbines manufactured in
China under joint venture arrangements, as GE allows its export only to developing countries and on
condition if the bulk of the project funding comes from China. However, during the negotiation of the
contract, Pakistan Electric Power Co (Pepco) insisted that GE must provide or guarantee a warranty /
guarantee to be issued by the DEC to ensure the operation of Chinese-built electric turbines in
accordance with GE's operating principles. Demonstrating the resilience of turbines from Chinese that
have not been tested in the export market, GE declined to do so. After lengthy negotiations, it was
therefore decided that the DEC would install electricity generators from France, albeit at a high level, and
arrange the necessary funding from France.

 These GE 9E power engines have a good reputation, heavy duty, designed to work with three fuels
namely natural gas, residual oil or heavy oil, and distillate oil (high speed diesel, HSD), and starting and
closure in HSD. However, proper liquid fuel should be used in accordance with GE's fuel specifications
GE1-41047. The blast of a furnace oil in a propeller yet is a major concern. This fuel contains high levels
of sulfur, sodium and vanadium, fire products that adversely affect the hot gas components of these
turbines that cause a decrease in their lifespan, and require frequent maintenance and replacement of
spaces. So, globally, there are indications for the use of these turbines only such as dual-fuel, natural gas
and HSD. Also in Pakistan, many GE 9E Frame turbines operate such as Guddu, Kot Addu (KAPCO), Uch-I
Power, K-Electric and other thermal power stations. All of these turbines are emitted with natural gas,
with the exception of KAPCO where low sulfur oil (LSFO) is used after the conversion of turbines from
gas-firing to GE oil.
