POLICY FRAMEWORK FOR NEW - CAPTIVE POWER PRODUCERS (N-CPPs)

To lessen the gravity of power shortage in the country it was decided by WAPDA/PEPCO to  acquire surplus and redundant Captive Power from APTMA members as one of the supply side measures. This Captive Power was mostly oil based. Subsequently, Sugar Industry also made a similar offer for sale of surplus (bagasse based) Captive Power. So far about 182 MW produced by different CPPs on different fuels could be fed to DISCOs on take-and-pay-basis at tariffs approved by WAPDA Authority/PEPCO under the guidelines of NEPRA. Up till now APTMA remains the main contributor.
