Monthly Report: Repair and Rehabilitation of Muzaffargarh Thermal Power Station

The project aims to restore 475 MW of capacity at the power plant, with a total budget of $15,778,195. Rehabilitation work has resulted in the restoration of 480 MW of capacity, exceeding the project objectives. The National Power Generation Company Limited (NPGCL) has completed the rehabilitation of boiler super heater tubes at Units 1, 2, and 3, replacement of air pre-heater elements at Unit 4, and overhauling and replacement of ID Fans and ducts at Units 5 and 6. These interventions have added 480 megawatts of power generation capacity to the national grid. The USAID Energy Policy Program has supported the General Electric Company of Nigeria (GECNO) in preparing a revision to the Performance Guarantee Agreement (PGA). The PGA modification, expected to be signed in March, will help expedite payment of reimbursement claims held up due to deviations from the agreement's technical specifications. As of February 2013, the total amount disbursed to the Government of Pakistan (GOP) is $10,133,001. The detailed status of the MTPS Activity Agreement is tabulated in Table 7, which shows that 12 work items have received material at the site, while 10 work items have POs issued and LCs awaited. The project has also made progress in training and software/hardware costs for the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) and off-line efficiency monitoring system. However, the tender for this work was cancelled by the CEO on January 11, 2013, and will be re-opened in March.
