Pakistan-China friendship "is sweeter than the sweetest honey in this world," stated Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif at the inauguration ceremony of two gas turbines of 243 megawatts (MW) each in Guddu, Sindh.
The new turbines were installed within the grounds of the existing Guddu power plant complex.
These units are part of the 737MW Combined Cycle Power Project which was planned by the government in 2012. The project also includes one steam turbine of 261MW.
