Sindh Governor Imran Ismail visited K-Electric's Bin Qasim Power Station-III (BQPS-III) project to review the progress on the latest addition to Karachi's power network, according to a press release issued on Tuesday.
BQPS-III is a $650 million project which will be adding 900MW of generation capacity to KE's existing network. This mega-project is progressing on the back of close collaboration between leading engineering firms who are partnering with KE to achieve a shared vision of empowering Karachi.
Work is progressing swiftly, and the first unit of 450MW is over 70 percent complete and is expected to come online in the coming five to six weeks.
Governor Ismail said he was he pleased to see that Sehr and Iftar times during this Ramazan are exempt from load-shedding. "KE's management and representatives from Siemens, SSGC, and PLL have assured me that they are working to complete the project on time."
K-E Chief Executive Officer Moonis Alvi said: "The timely execution of BQPS-III is critical to meet Karachi's future demand."
