Port Qasim power plant completes 1,000 days of safe operation

Author: News Desk

The Port Qasim Coal-Fired Power Plant has been safely operating for 1,000 days since the first unit was put into operation without any major safety accident.

Gwadar Pro reported on Wednesday that in the past 1,000 days, the project has cumulatively generated more than 22.5 billion KWH of electricity, including 6.036 billion KWH in 2020. The stable and reliable electricity production for national power grid has a positive influence on the adjustment of domestic energy structure.

Meanwhile, it also greatly alleviates the insufficient power supply and frequent power brownouts for Pakistan. The plant has brought social benefits to the local region and also the nation. The project has provided more than 3,000 jobs per year during the construction period and more than 500 local jobs per year during the operation period. It has also accelerated local economic development and infrastructure construction.
