ISLAMABAD: Pakistan will soon overcome power crisis as 10,400 megawatt electricity would be added to the national grid during the next three to four years.
This was stated by Prime Minister’s spokesman Dr Musadik Malik, while giving an interview. He said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had signed several power projects in China that would help improve the availability of electricity and give boost to the business activities.
Musadik Malik said under these projects, solar, wind, coal and hydroelectricity would be produced across the country. He said power generation from solar and wind would start in two years while coal and hydroelectricity projects would be completed in three to five years respectively.
The prime minister’s spokesman said China would also assist Pakistan in developing a big highway network from Khuzdar to Gwadar as part of Pak-China Economic Corridor.
