Electricity for Hunza - Solar Back-up - Public Private Partnership.

 To: The Secretary Water & Power Govt of GB - Gilgit

Subject:  Electricity for Hunza - Solar Back-up - Public Private Partnership.

Dear Sir,

Mega projects normally take decades to complete we must have an interim solution to overcome energy starvation through SELF HELP - which is attainable in a short period, hope to complete a model project in Baltit within the year, if the govt cooperates in this endeavour.

Brief outline of the proposal is as follows:

1. Establish a 25 KW solar system at each location of Distribution Transformer

2. TMS negotiates with GB Government for:

     a. Installation of a bulk meter at the output of the transformer 

     b. Bill will be paid by the TMS on the basis of the meter   reading

    c. Bills from consumers will be collected by TMS

    d. Amount exceeding the bulk supply bill will be deposited in the account of the investor after deducting the service charges

    e. Default in regular payment of the consumer bill will result in disconnection

3. Councils Cooperation will be on the following lines:

   a. Educate the populations on adoption of civil society learning material and and concept of "Better Tomorrow" as DJ goals. 

   b. Will encourage the VO/WO or individuals to invest in the scheme through SAVINGS SCHEME

   c. Will preside on a briefing session for executives from the stake-holders organisations, TMS, BHT, Municipal Committee, BRSO, KWA etc. First briefing will be done by Brig. Hisamullah Beg, the proponent for this venture

   d. For the first installation located in Polo ground (Didar Gah), a room will be provided by the LC to house the batteries, inverters and control gear. 

   e. LC will also allow use of the roof of office complex or Model High School roof for erecting the Solar Panels

4. Proponent will hire an engineering firm - preferably in GB - to establish the first facility, warranties for the system components after sale service etc. Subsequent systems will either be established by TMS through proposed "Hunza Power supply Company" and also award contracts to the best suppliers according to well defined specifications. 

5. Specifications:

   a. 25 KW solar system with a battery storage capacity of 8000-AH, capable of providing 24-hour energy for the consumers connected to one-phase of the transformer - includes Central (or Principal) JK, and Model High School - of course they pay the bills according to government levies. 

   b. TMS will be responsible for operation and maintenance of the facility in accordance with the written briefing prepared by the proponent - Brig Hisamullah Beg- in consultation with the govt experts

contacted the company on 19th December 2021.

"I am an advocate for solar energy and am using solar systems at my homes in Hunza and Rawalpindi for my energy needs.

I am also advocating that energy starvation in Hunza can be met through a hybrid system, accordingly developed prototypes for a floating hydroelectric generator of 1-KW capacity with a low cost of generation - 95000 Rs per KW. Will look forward to the possibility of using your investment in a public-private venture with the government in GB."
