4 Importance of sustainable planning capability for Pakistan Widening supply gap, leading to extensive load shedding Rapid demand growth Limited new capacity build System losses (24%) and end use sector inefficiency Lack of revenue for investment / operation (leading to circular debt) Falling indigenous oil / gas resources Hydro seasonal variability Limited focus on medium to longer term planning necessary for large scale investment

5 Widening demand-supply gap Load shedding critical problem, with economic, social and political consequences 8-10 hours in urban areas and hours in rural areas

6 Key policy decisions for power sector in longer term Primary Energy Supply Conversion Technologies End-use Sectors Energy Service Demand Exploitation of Thar coal? Imports of fuels (LNG, pipeline) and electricity? Strong nuclear base? Coal gen., based on Thar? Further hydro exploitation? Demand for electricity? Energy efficiency potential? Strength of demand drivers? Non-hydro renewables? Grid system options? Policy issues (e.g. energy security, environmental sustainability) and wider sector implications

7 Example: indigenous exploitation of coal Thar coal provides one of the largest deposits of lignite in the world (175 billion tonnes) Key debate over exploitation Cost vs. imports Technology to use e.g. gasification Environmental concerns (pollution, water usage) Grid expansion costs vs. transport How does this option rank against many others in context of future demand, and wider system?

9 Project objective Develop a sustainable planning capability by use of a integrated energy system model Enable a national team of experts to assess the impacts of various strategies for meeting future energy requirements in an optimal manner

10 Why TIMES? Encompasses an entire energy system from resource extraction through to end-use demands Employs least-cost optimization Identifies the most cost-effective pattern of resource use and technology deployment over time Provides a framework for the evaluation of mid-to-longterm policies and programs that can impact the evolution of the energy system Quantifies the costs and technology choices that result from imposition of the policies and programmes Fosters stakeholder buy-in and consensus building

16 Power sector structure

17 Power sector inputs All existing power plants in the PEPCO / KESC system characterized individually Hydro plants operating with seasonal availability taken into account Existing plants forced to operate to at least the level observed in for remaining lifetime Committed plants are included in the model Electricity supply responding to temporal demands based on a 12- period day/season resolution of the load curve Load shedding reflected as an unmet demand increasing to the 2010 level and decreasing to zero in 2015 Transmission & distribution losses (24% in 2007), with 6% assigned to transmission Full set of new technology options including renewables Limits on the rate at which new power plants can be built

19 Modelling challenges Data availability (although power sector least problematic) Characterising near term issues such as load shedding, circular debt, fuel price volatility etc. Issue of lumpy investment for large-scale infrastructure Capturing uncertainty in deterministic model Engaging and bringing experts on board

20 GWh GWh Issue of load shedding Demand System Significant problem of supply shortfall in specific countries Optimisation model will ignore the problem of deficit as it will supply what is demanded Jul 06 Oct 06 Jan 07 Apr 07 Jul 07 Oct 07 Jan 08 Apr 08 Jul 08 Oct 08 Jan 09 Apr Deficit Actual supply Force problem to be recognised by introducing unmet demand which adds high costs to the model Model saves costs by building new capacity, resolving the deficit problem

27 Storyline 1 Best practice: Costs Incremental improvements result in increasingly low system costs

28 Storyline 1 Best practice: Annual expenditure Increased investment in energy efficiency devices, leading to lower power sector investment

29 Storyline 1 Best practice: Generation Smaller system due to efficiency measures, with less coal / nuclear in the long term

30 Storyline 1 Best practice: CO2 taxes Additional costs of CO2 tax can be significantly offset through best practice

31 Storyline 2 Challenges: Costs Key challenges in system can be offset by best practice measures

32 Storyline 2 Challenges: Generation Stronger role for nuclear in absence of domestic coal resource

33 Storyline 2 Challenges: Final energy Greater role for gas / oil compared to electricity; increased efficiency through best practice

34 Case Study: Developing an integrated energy model Pak-IEM Background Project overview Model development Policy analysis Summary comments

35 Key insights Whatever the technology choices, long term investment requirements are significant These will be even higher if near term challenges persist.but can also be offset by best practice approaches There are some key resource supply issues that will have large consequences across the system (gas imports, coal exploitation) Planning needs to start now, based on integrated view of the system to inform strategy TIMES model is one of the tools now available to support process

36 Critical success factors Engagement of the Planning Team Dedicated staff in the Energy Wing Strong contributions from other institutions, and independent use Involvement of the key Ministries, agencies and private sector for improved data development Wide dissemination of model capabilities and results But could be improved through.
