Technical Assistance - Cold Storage Infrastructure Network, through Government Of Pakistan This $329,328 grant partially funded a feasibility study to support the establishment of twelve cold storage facilities at strategic locations within five geographical areas throughout Pakistan. In Pakistan, 20 to 40 percent of perishable products are lost to spoilage before they can be consumed because of inadequate post-harvest handling and lack of refrigeration. The project will improve the cold chain and the post-harvest system through commercial development of cold storage facilities, while ultimately further strengthening U.S.-Pakistan economic cooperation goals.

Technical Assistance - Grid Modernization Pilot Project, through Government Of Pakistan This $924,290 technical assistance (TA) funds a grid modernization assessment for a pilot project in greater Islamabad to serve as the basis for the deployment of Smart Grid technologies. The TA focuses on evaluating and analyzing a pilot area of the Islamabad Electric Supply Companys (IESCOs) distribution system, conducting a high-level gap analysis of the present system infrastructure versus a suite of potential Smart Grid investments, and then identifying the appropriate combination of technologies that will most effectively upgrade the capabilities of IESCOs distribution system. Project implementation would improve the ability of IESCO to operate and maintain its systems efficiency, form the basis for planning capital investments, improve service to customers, and establish a framework for future Smart Grid deployment.
Feasibility Study - KARACHI INTEGRATED SMART GRID SYSTEM, through Government Of Pakistan USTDA support of $510,475 funds a feasibility study to determine the viability of an integrated Smart Grid system in greater Karachi for substantially reducing electricity losses and improving the efficiency of utility operations.

Karachi Electric Supply Company Limited (KESC), the only private distribution utility in Pakistan, is the Grantee. KESC's distribution system has very high losses: as much as 40 percent or roughly 1,000 MW is lost through technical line losses and administrative losses. This USTDA-funded Study has the potential to have a significant developmental impact in Pakistan through much needed energy infrastructure improvements that currently constrain economic performance, the technology transfer associated with Smart Grid technology, and supporting market-oriented reforms to relieve the problem of "free riders".

Feasibility Study - Back-Up Power Conversion to Methanol Fuel Cells, through Government Of Pakistan This $462,520 grant is partially funding a feasibility study and pilot project for Warid Telecom to determine the economic and operational feasibility of introducing methanol-based fuel cells and sodium-metal halide batteries to reduce the energy consumption and improve the reliability of a major mobile telephony network in Pakistan. Warid Telecom has more than 18 million subscribers and more than 4,700 base transceiver stations (BTS). At least 90 percent of the 50,000 BTS sites in Pakistan serving the countrys 118 million mobile phone users have permanent diesel generators providing backup power many hours each day, year round. Methanol-based fuel cells combined with sodium batteries would be a replacement for Warid Telecom's diesel generator sets and subsequently those of other carriers.
