Background
In 2013 Fatima Group said it made all the arrangements to set up one 120 MW co-generation power plant in Muzaffargarh, adjacent to a sugar mill owned by the group. The plant will utilize waste and husks produced by the sugar mill along with other biomass and imported coal. The project is being developed through a public limited company, Fatima Energy Limited.[1]
The company expected to close the finances for the project by September 30, 2013, and begin commercial operations in 2016. Fatima Energy has selected China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC) as the preferred bidder to undertake the project on a turnkey basis.[1] Surplus electricity from the unit would be added to the national grid, with the help of Multan Electric power company.[2]
In December 2015, Fatima Energy applied for a power pricing tariff from the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority. The regulatory document stated that financial close was achieved in May 2014, and that China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation had been selected as engineering, procurement, & construction contractor. The document stated that the construction schedule gave the completion date as August 2016, but that Fatima expected construction to be complete by April 2016.[3]
According to Dawn in October 2016, the plant will begin commercial operation soon.[4] As of April 2017 the plant was operating, as the federal government and Fatima were engaged in a rate dispute over the plant's power; it is unclear exactly when it was completed.[5]
