Karachi: City to have 550 MW power plant in 14 mths
KARACHI: City Naib Nazim Nasrin Jalil has said that the Ministry of Water and Power (Private Power and Infrastructure Board) has given approval to the setting up of a 550 MW power generation station in Karachi that will be installed by UAE’s Dhabeen Power Engineering Company.

The plant will also supply 50 mgd water and in this regard Jalil thanked Federal Minister Raja Parvaiz Ashraf and MNA Faryal Talpur.

Talking to Dhabeen Engineering CEO Tanvir Zaidi at her office on Tuesday, Jalil said that the power station will greatly help overcome the ongoing power shortage.

The plant will be setup in the Lyari Development Authority area and give Lyari’s youth jobs. The company will also establish a training centre to produce technicians for the plant.

On the occasion Tanvir Zaidi thanked Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ebad Khan, City Nazim Mustafa Kamal, Naib Nazim Nasrin Jalil, MNA Dr Farooq Sattar and Dr Mohammed Ali Shah whose efforts and interest resulted in the federal government giving approval to the setting up of 550 MW power plant in the city.

He said the plant would become operative in 14 months after issuance of letter of support from the government.

He said in the first phase, 350 MW of electricity would be supplied, followed by 550 MW and 50 mgd water in the second phase, while an addition of 1800 MW would be supplied in the third phase along with desalination and supply of 150 mgd seawater.

He said in the third phase, the plant would be run on coal gas. app
