Take a look at the data, I believe excess electricity is only temporary. Industry need much more electricity. China has a lot of excess power, but still building more and more power stations because it will be too late when you desperately need it.To be honest, Pakistan needs someone to buy the energy now so it can minimize its costs, and move on to the next projects.
China could also look at extending the transmission lines to Central Asia or even Russia, as a way to implement OBOR projects quicker.
From the data below, I believe more industry and higher consumption(household air conditioner) in Pakistan will need 10X more power in next 2 decades. The only problem is where you get those power. Hydro-power is the best power Pakistan can get so far. Pakistan has good condition for solar power as well.
