Like most of the countries in the developing world, Pakistan
is also experiencing a gap between power demand and supply.
This energy crisis particularly effects the efficiency of
industries and also forms a major hindrance in meeting product
delivery deadlines.
In order to keep its commitments and remain undistributed
in its productivity, Ibrahim Group has setup a power generation
plant of its own which is primarily producing electricity
for consumption of its own mills.
This self-sufficiency thus achieved will positively effects
the operating performance of the Group's Industrial operations.
Ibrahim Energy Limited was incorporated as a Private Limited
Company on 2nd June,1991, converted into a Public Limited
Company on Feb 26,1992 and the power generation started from
January 1994. Ibrahim Energy, now merged into Ibrahim Fibres
Limited.
Power generating capacity of the project is 31.8 MW based
on heavy fuel oil. The plant and machinery of the project
comprises of 6 furnace oil generating sets, each having a
capacity to produce 5.3 MW, supplied by Nigata Engineering
Company, Japan.
In February, 2006 all 6 NIIGATA engines were successfully
converted to use Bi-Fuel (HFO & NG) instead of HFO only.
Since then about 42% of HFO fuel has been substituted by natural
gas. |
