US to help Pakistan get 3,000MW

[Peaceful Civilian]

Thank you U.S.A.

 

[KAL-EL]

We need a Star Trek engineer to solve this one.

Indeed.. Where is Chief Engineer Lt. B'Elanna Torres when you need her

 

[Rashid Mahmood]

Only 3000 MW.....?

30,000 MW would have suited USA...

 

[rockstar08]

and in return we must give them a Air base or something right ?

 

[Jaanbaz]

Where are those Indians that said Pakistan is isolated?

As much as I agree with more power generation, I think refurbishing the existing transmission infrastructure to make it more efficient is equally important. Nests of criss-crossed cables dangling from bamboo sticks is not the most efficient way to conduct electricity and causes short-circuits, transformer blow-outs and electricity theft. The entire system needs to be revamped and have automatic monitoring systems in place to calculate the electricity being transmitted and consumed.

That's definetly not Pak.. But if be surprised if it is !

US to help Pakistan get 3,000MW

ISLAMABAD: The United States and Pakistan on Wednesday announced to facilitate and accelerate private investment in clean energy projects in Pakistan.


Under this initiative, the US government will work with Pakistan to advance reforms that will allow the US, Pakistani, and international private sector developers and investors to add at least 3,000 megawatts of clean power to Pakistan’s national grid within the next 3-5 years.


“This clean energy initiative will help address Pakistan’s energy challenges,” said US State Department’s Special Envoy for Energy Amos Hochstein during the second US-Pakistan Energy Working Group under the broader US-Pakistan Strategic Dialogue framework. “It is a partnership to help alleviate Pakistan’s energy challenges based on a set of goals shared by Pakistan, the United States, multilateral banks, donors, and the private sector.”


Special Envoy Hochstein, Deputy Chief of Mission Williams and a delegation from Washington met Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Khawaja Asif and a range of Pakistani government officials to discuss measures to increase cooperation in the clean energy sector. Energy demand in Pakistan is expected to double by 2020. Addressing this challenge will require significant action by the government to institute reforms that create space for private sector support, as well as the support of many countries and institutions.


To advance the goals of this common initiative, the US and Pakistani officials discussed steps to: strengthen regulatory institutions and develop market-based rules to attract private investment; develop an investment strategy for expanding the role of clean energy systems; expand transmission capacity for clean energy projects; and mobilise loans, grants, technical assistance and guarantees needed to manage and reduce private sector risks and leverage private capital into clean power projects.


Helping the energy sector become more market-based is one of the best alternatives to ending the current crisis and ensuring that future demand can be met. Clean power investments in hydroelectric, wind, solar, biomass, and natural gas, combined with an expanded effort to improve the efficiency at all parts of the energy sector, will reduce Pakistan’s dependence on foreign fuel sources, help address climate change, improve Pakistan’s energy security, and promote innovation and growth.


This initiative marks a new phase of US energy sector assistance to Pakistan, which since 2010 has contributed over 1,500 megawatts of electricity to Pakistan’s national grid by refurbishing existing hydropower and thermal generation facilities, completing hydropower projects, and improving the operation and efficiency of Pakistan’s transmission and distribution systems. inp

What good gesture ?
Its just the same old US AD (vertisement )
Nothing doing , 3 to 5 years

 

[FaujHistorian]

Good gesture from the US.
But why the sudden surge in goodwill from them?

It is not "SUDDEN". Please read the entire post.

Good to see that now US is doing right things. If US open two three universities in Pakistan and open more free trade with Pakistan will change some positive response from people of Pakistan

After China, USA comes in. Had to send their special envoy for energy. Where are those Indians that said Pakistan is isolated?



We don't need one from the USA. Already got plenty from China.

Mate believe it or not US is the country who give us most of our Aid and it was our politician who eat that all and leave nothing for us.

 

[Providence]

See that's how good we are

 

[waleed3601]

haha 2 biggest superpowers fighting to mark their place in an economy which isn't half a quarter the size of either.
makes one wonder, why such interest in this country?
ill tell u : gwadar. america might finally seem to accept that gwadar will be a reality in less than a few months and by 10 years it will be neck to neck competing with dubai, and of course, how can US keep it's nose out of any major development anywhere? so its trying to get a piece of the cake, since the biggest slice is reserved for pakistan and china.

While their assistance in several programs is not sudden, I was only referring to the sudden surge in goodwill.
This announcement comes close after the chopper approval from the State Dept.

Though I admit, this timing could also be a complete coincidence.

Pakistan has always been the most natural ally of America in the region. Nothing new to this.
