energizing Pakistan

about the theme

At its core, the expression 'Har Jagga Mere Chamakne Se Ujaala Hojaaye' from Allama Muhammad Iqbal's timeless poetry inspires us to embrace divine guidance and nurture our ambitions for a purpose-driven existence. It encapsulates the essence of self-empowerment and the yearning to enact positive change - fostering continuous growth, innovation, and the greater good.

For Engro Powergen Qadirpur Limited, it encompasses our profound corporate ethos centered around alleviating Pakistan's energy crisis and illuminating a path to prosperity. We recognize that the economic and social progress of the Country relies heavily on a sustainable and efficient power sector. Drawing inspiration from Iqbal's profound words, Engro Powergen Qadirpur Limited harnesses the potential of its green power plant by utilizing permeate gas to reduce carbon emissions and open new avenues for growth across Pakistan.

our history

On 27th March 2010, the spark of an idea conceived in one team's imagination became reality and Engro Powergen Qadirpur (EPQL) declared commencement of commercial operations.

At the turn of the century, Pakistan was anticipated to face severe and debilitating power shortages in the near future. We decided to take up the challenge and contribute to reducing the energy shortfall in the Country. The search for a viable long-term power project led to something extraordinary as vision and ingenuity came together to find the answer to the challenge.

For several years employees of Engro while traveling on the National Highway from Sukkur to Daharki, passed the Qadirpur gas field. Located 600 km from Karachi, the Qadirpur gas field is amongst Pakistan's largest gas reserves. From the highway they could see a huge flare of permeate gas. This flare, which is the by-product of the gas purification process, consisted mainly of Methane (60%), Carbon Dioxide (31%), Nitrogen (8%), Hydrogen Sulfide (320ppm), and about 1% of other hydrocarbons. The sulfur content made it unfit for household consumption. Our team was finally struck with the idea that energy could be harnessed from this waste gas. Use of permeate gas for electricity generation would also reduce carbon dioxide emissions produced when the gas is flared, hence its utilization resulted in a 'green solution' falling in line with Engro's philosophy. And so that short journey from Sukkur to Daharki became the stepping stone for our journey into the power sector.

A team was immediately formed to work on the feasibility of a permeate gas power plant. The project team's diligence & perseverance was finally rewarded when construction on a 217 MW combined cycle power plant was started in 2008. On 27th March 2010, the spark of an idea conceived in one team's imagination became reality and Engro Powergen Qadirpur declared commencement of commercial operations. Our Plant was the first power plant to be commissioned under the 2002 power policy and was completed in record time after the letter of intent (LOI) application. Our expertise coupled with relentless determination resulted in the Plant achieving commercial operations three months before the agreed schedule date.

The electricity generated through the Plant is transmitted to the National Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDC) under the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) dated October 26, 2007 which is valid for a period of 25 years from the Commercial Operations Date.

The project is unique as it converts low-BTU, high sulfur content permeate gas, which was earlier being wasted and flared, into much needed electric power. The Plant is a combined cycle plant, with 1+1+1 configuration; i.e. one gas turbine, one heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), and one steam turbine. The Plant uses permeate gas as its primary fuel source and HSD as backup fuel. The unique fuel usage, which was previously being flared, makes Engro Powergen Qadirpur Limited one of the lowest opportunity cost thermal power plants in the country.

The Plant has a huge social impact as it helps provide non-stop electricity supply to areas that face severe load shedding; and employment to the locals.
