KARACHI:
To help meet the persistently rising demand for more power, the government has launched a policy to replace aging and inefficient power plants with more efficient, modern ones.
The first project expected, a 750-megawatt combined-cycle plant in Guddu, would feature advanced technology F-class gas turbines from General Electric, and is expected to be Pakistan’s most efficient combined-cycle plant. It would be a significant step in addressing the power deficit, which is estimated to be 4,500 megawatts.
