South Asian Countries Face Severe Electricity Shortages with Rapidly Increasing Demand
CASA-1000, the First Phase of CASAREM, would Support 1,300 MW of Clean Electricity Trade Between Central Asia (Kyrgyz Republic & Tajikistan) and South Asia (Afghanistan & Pakistan)
Project Components • 500 kV line Datka-Khudjand (477 km), with Tajik network transferring Kyrgyz exports to Sangtuda • Tajikistan Grid Strengthening • 1300 MW AC-DC Convertor Station at Sangtuda • 750 km HVDC line Sangtuda-Kabul-Peshawar • 300 MW Convertor Station at Kabul (with both import & export capability) • 1300 MW DC-AC Convertor Station at Peshawar
Estimates of Summer Surplus based on Existing Generation Projects Only Combined Surplus (GWh) in the base case would reduce every year Summer Surplus, in the base case scenario, has been estimated by using: Generation from existing plants only over the projection period; and The countries’ demand based on GDP growth and other relevant factors. Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan have been exporting power to neighbors (up to 2.5 TWh annually ) and spilling water from the reservoirs without any generation.
Feasibility Study Demand forecast Higher than Other Studies Estimates
CASA-1000 is Economically Viable Even with Conservative Estimates of Surplus • The base case economic analysis gives a Benefits to Cost ratio of 1.34 and EIRR1 of 15.6% {excludes benefits of GHG reduction and Telecom connectivity). • Sensitivity: New generation added enabling a constant yearly exportable surplus of 4 TWh - Benefits to Cost ratio of 2.11 and EIRR of 20.8% • Sensitivity: Opportunity cost of US$ 0.20/kWh for Pakistan - Benefits to Cost ratio of 2.89 and EIRR of 31.9% 1- EIRR: Economic internal rate of return.
Huge Difference in Cost of Electricity between importing and exporting countries
Donor Participation The US State Department, AusAid, DFID, ADB, Islamic Development Bank, USAID, IFC and the World Bank are among the donors who have supported pre-preparation activities of the project to-date. • Donors who attended the Sept 2011 IGC Meeting in Bishkek include: Islamic Development Bank, JICA, KfW, Eurasian Development Bank, DFID, EBRD, IFC, USAID, US State Dept, Russia, China.
