Background
In 2013, Fatima Group said it made arrangements to set up one 120 MW co-generation power plant in Muzaffargarh, adjacent to a sugar mill owned by the group. The plant would utilize waste and husks produced by the sugar mill along with other biomass and imported coal as fuel. The project was developed through a public limited company, Fatima Energy Limited.[1]
The project is based on Spreader Stoker technology which is proven for efficient burning of dual fuel biomass and coal. Foster Wheeler of Spain was selected for the supply of boilers. For the boiler combustion system, Detroit Stoker Company of USA has been selected for providing its special Rotograte System. For steam turbines, Siemens was selected for supply of two full condensing/extraction turbines for the Project.[2]
The company expected to close financing for the project by September 30, 2013, and begin commercial operations in 2016. Fatima Energy selected China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC) as the preferred bidder to undertake the project on a turnkey basis.[1] Surplus electricity from the unit would be added to the national grid, with the help of Multan Electric power company.[3]
In December 2015, Fatima Energy applied for a power pricing tariff from the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority. The regulatory document stated that financial close was achieved in May 2014, and that China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation had been selected as engineering, procurement, & construction contractor. It also stated that the construction schedule set the completion date as August 2016, but that Fatima expected construction to be complete by April 2016.[4]
According to Dawn in October 2016, the plant was set to begin commercial operation soon.[5] As of April 2017, the plant was operating as the federal government and Fatima were engaged in a rate dispute over the plant's power; it is unclear exactly when it was completed.[6]
According to a 2021 State of Industry Report, the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority granted the project a special purpose transmission license (SPTL) to construct transmission lines from the plant.[7]
Financing
In August 2014, a financing agreement for the project was closed. US$258.13 million in loans was provided by undisclosed lenders. US$86.04 million in equity was provided by Fatima Group.[8]
