A ceremony was held to celebrate the Commercial Operation Date (COD) of the Thar Block-1 Integrated Coal Mine Power Project on March 22.
On the occasion, Pang Chunxue, Charge d’affaires of the Chinese Embassy in Pakistan, extended her congratulations to the successful COD of the Thar Block-1 Integrated Coal Mine Power Project. “It is a new remarkable achievement of CPEC cooperation, injecting strong impetus to the high-quality development of CPEC and bringing more benefits to the people,” she noted.
The Thar Block-1 Integrated Coal Mine Power Project, a key energy project under CPEC, is developed, constructed and operated by Thar Coal Block-1 Power Generation Company & Sino Sindh Resources Company and parent company Shanghai Electric Group. The project successfully completed a 168-hour reliability operation test and officially started a commercial operation on February 5 this year.
During construction, “the project has provided more than 18,000 direct employment opportunities for the locals, with a cumulative tax payment of 120 million USD and CSR expenditure of over 1.3 million USD,” Pang Chunxue pinpointed. After COD, it will provide electricity for 4 million households, bring significant social and economic significance in reducing fuel imports, saving foreign exchange reserves, optimizing power supply structure and enhancing energy security.
It is worth mentioning that this year marks the 10th anniversary of BRI and CPEC. As a win-win cooperation, CPEC has brought a total of $25.4 billion in direct investment, $17.55 billion in revenue, $2.12 billion in taxes, and altogether created 192,000 local jobs, helping Pakistan add 8,000 megawatts of electricity, 510km of highway and 886km of the national core transmission network.
“CPEC has contributed to laying a good foundation for Pakistan’s industrialization, modernization and connectivity to the region. In the future, the CPEC cooperation will focus more on industry, agriculture, science and technology etc, increasing Pakistan’s export capacity and competitive edge,” Pang Chunxue concluded.

4500 MW Diamer Basha Hydropower Project Under Construction
The first bin of the longitudinal guide wall of the Diamer Basha Dam Project of POWERCHINA was recently poured, marking the end of the excavation task and the beginning of the concrete-pouring stage of the diversion tunnel project.
During the construction, the team actively communicated with all parties, optimized the excavation and pumping methods, and deployed sufficient workers to the construction site.
With all the challenges overcome, the team successfully completed the excavation task.
In the next step, POWERCHINA will target river diversion and closure to ensure safe flood-passing.

AFP
April 05, 2023
A fire ripped through the camp of a Chinese company managing the construction of a remote hydropower dam in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa on Tuesday, officials said.
Since 2015, Beijing has poured billions of dollars into Pakistan under an investment scheme known as the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
Private firms have also flooded over the border to service contracts on ambitious infrastructure projects, despite persistent threats from terrorist attacks.
Police said on Tuesday’s pre-dawn blaze ruined a warehouse complex for the Dasu hydropower project in the Kohistan district.
"It was a huge fire," a Rescue 1122 official at the site told AFP. "Initially, the flames were very high and we had to call for fire brigade vehicles from two other districts."
"It was quite a big storehouse, and apart from oil drums, stationery and machinery were also stockpiled there. That's all been destroyed in the fire," he added.
In 2017, the water ministry awarded the construction contract for the Dasu dam to the China Gezhouba Group Company.
The camp housed Chinese engineers, surveyors and mechanics, but both police and Rescue 1122 said none were injured or killed.
One police official said an electrical fault was the suspected cause of the fire.
In July 2021, 12 people -- including nine Chinese workers -- were killed aboard a bus carrying staff to the Dasu site, with Beijing insisting it was a bomb attack.
