Pakistan to set up 2 new coastal power projects | Business Standard

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif today directed authorities to immediately start work on installing two power plants in Balochistan and Sindh provinces as part of his government's focus on overcoming a crippling energy crisis.

Sharif further directed officials to establish a Project Management Office to track progress of the projects at Gadani, a coastal village in Balochistan, and Port Qasim, the country's second busiest port located in Sindh.

During a high-level meeting on energy, the premier was briefed on progress in the Neelum-Jhelum and Nandipur power projects. Officials said these projects are on track.

Sharif was informed that a coal-based project is being started in Jamshoro with the help of the Asian Development Bank and will be completed in two years, said a statement issued by the Prime Minister's Office.

He said work on the power projects should be carried out on a war footing and that he considers the strategy of "energy response" as "energy emergency".

Any lapse in implementing these projects would be unacceptable, he said.
