The Plant is operated within prudent limits in supplying electricity to the WAPDA grid. In accordance with the Power Purchase Agreement, there are:

• limits on the maximum number of starts per unit during the effectiveness of the Power Purchase Agreement and also on a yearly basis
• limits on the rates at which energy output can be increased from a unit
• minimum specified electrical frequencies and voltage functions

Under the Power Purchase Agreement, WAPDA provides Hubco with estimates of its requirements for power from the Plant for a year, quarter, month and day ahead.

Direct telemetering and telecommunication links have been established between the Plant and WAPDA's grid control centre.
