PROJECT DESCRIPTION

BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION According to data provided by GBWPD, there are 3,600 electricity consumers in Chilas

and surrounding areas. Of these 3,200 (89%) are domestic, 300 (8%) are commercial, whereas 100 (3%) are industrial. The total power demand is 2.4 MW however; the total installed capacity of hydel and thermal power plants is 1.7 MW. Thus there is a shortfall of 0.7 MW. Unless new sources of power are added, the situation is likely to aggravate with time as the demand is projected to increase to 4.2 MW by 2015. The proposed 04 MW plant will be an important project to bridging the widening gap between demand and supply. B. 14. LOCATION The proposed Hydel Power Project is located on Thak Nullah which is a left bank tributary

of Indus river having a length of 23 km. Its confluence with the Indus river is at about 5km east of Chilas. The project site is located about 15 Km east of Chilas town. The project area is accessible from Chilas Babusar pass highway running along Thak nullah off-taking from Chilas-Gilgit road (Karakoram Highway).The weir intake is proposed on right side of Thak Nullah in Khun village where as the powerhouse is proposed about 4.5 Km downstream of the weir intake. The location of the project on map of Pakistan is sown in Figure 1 where as its location on regional map of Chilas is given in Figure 2.

Figure 3: Layout Plan of Thak Nullah HPP 16. The layout of the project comprises of a diversion weir, intake channel, settling tank, by

pass channel, fore bay, powerhouse, tail race channel, spill channel, penstock pipe and surge tank. Salient features of the layout are listed below.

Diversion Weir: The typical weir made of gabions is proposed for diversion of water at the

take of point. The crest of the weir is proposed to be 4m above the nullah bed to provide sufficient head. Two guide walls have been provided to divert water into the intake channel. 18. Intake and By Pass channels: A trapezoidal open channel is proposed for conveyance of

water from the weir to the intake structures. 19. Settling Tank: a settling tank has been proposed for the removal of sand and silt

particles. At the entrance of the settling tank a trash rack is proposed to be provided for the removal of floating objects and bigger particles which may find their way through the intake channel. The tank is also provided with a sluice valve fro periodic flushing. 20. Forebay: A circular tank of 35m dia is proposed for the storage of water for the lean
3

period. The tank can hold 3850m of water to meet the requirements in lean period. 21. Surge Tank: A surge tank of the same size as for the forebay is proposed on the hill slope

near the power house at the height of 315m from the entry point of the penstock at the power house. 22. Penstock: A penstock pipe of about 4.5km long having 1m dia is proposed to bury

underground.

23.

Grid Station and Transmission Line: The 33kv grid station has been proposed in Jaldas

in Chilas town thereby developing a stable and flexible distribution network in the area. 24. The 33 kV power transmission line is proposed to transfer the electrical power of Thak

Nullah hydel power plant over a distance of 10 km along the existing transmission line to the proposed 33kV grid station at Jaldas in Chilas Town. 25. Access Road to Weir Site: The project site is accessible through Babusar Pass Highway

off taking from Karakoram Highway near Chilas town. The powerhouse and the weir site are located on this highway at 10km and 14km form Karakoram Highway respectively. No access road construction or rehabilitation would require for project implementation. 26. Manpower: About 200 people will be employed for the implementation of the project

where as 20 persons will get permanent employment for its operation and maintenance. 27. Construction Schedule: The implementation period of the project is 4 years

starting from 2012. 28. Environmental Flow: The weir on Thak Nullah is designed to divert 1.0 m /s of water for
3

the power generation of 4MW. Between October and April the average flow in Thak Nullah is 1.7m /s. Thus in these months, more than half of the water will be diverted for power production and there would be minimal flow in the stream between the weir site and the proposed powerhouse site, a distance of about 4 km. The minimal flow i.e. 0.7m /s is much higher than the 10% of average minimum flow 0.17m /s which is considered as environmental flow for bare survival of biota in the vulnerable reach. During the months of February and March the average monthly flow reduces to 1.17m /s. These months have been declared as lean months and the powerhouse will not be operated at full capacity. Only one turbine will operate using 0.5m /s of flow thus allowing the remaining water as environmental releases.
