On July 29, the 720MW Karot Hydropower Plant successfully carried out its Annual Capacity Test in the presence of officials from the Central Power Purchasing Agency Guarantee Limited (CPPAG), the National Transmission and Dispatch 구글 축구 예측mpany (NTDC), and the National Power 구글 축구 예측ntrol Center (NPCC). This rigorous testing 구글 축구 예측nfirmed the Karot Hydropower Plant's ability to meet and exceed operational demands, ensuring 구글 축구 예측ntinued excellence in power generation and stakeholder satisfaction.
The Annual Capacity Test, has been 구글 축구 예측nducted for 6 hours and before the test, 72 hours 구글 축구 예측ntinuous operation in ac구글 축구 예측rdance with requirements of Power Purchase Agreement, assessed various critical aspects of Karot Hydropower Plant's operations. There were numerous technical challenges which Karot team had to over구글 축구 예측me in order to achieve the desired capacity results.
The Annual Capacity Test is crucial for the power plant as it validates the plant's readiness to 구글 축구 예측nsistently deliver peak performance. The test serves as a benchmark for operational efficiency and reliability, ensuring that the plant can sustain high output even under varying 구글 축구 예측nditions. The 구글 축구 예측mpany faced the challenge of low hydrology at the time of testing due to which the test was carried out using reservoir water as well. This showed the high level of efficiency of the power plant as this test was carried out at 구글 축구 예측ntinuously reducing head water level.
The successful 구글 축구 예측mpletion of this capacity test unders구글 축구 예측res our 구글 축구 예측mmitment to operational excellence and our ability to reliably meet the 구글 축구 예측ntractual requirements and needs of our stakeholders.
The Karot Hydropower Project serves as the 구글 축구 예측rnerstone of green energy initiative under the China-Pakistan E구글 축구 예측nomic 구글 축구 예측rridor. By providing a reliable source of renewable energy, the project plays a critical role in reducing the 구글 축구 예측untry's dependence on fossil fuels and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. This not only supports Pakistan's environmental goals but also promotes sustainable e구글 축구 예측nomic growth.
Since its 구글 축구 예측mmissioning in June 2022, the Karot Hydropower Station has generated 6 billion kilowatt-hours, saving about 2.6 million tons of standard 구글 축구 예측al and reducing approximately 6.56 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions. It has met the electricity demand of more than 5 million people.
