Solar Power Plant to Replace Gwadar Coal Power Project

Description:

The 300 MW coal-based power station at Gwadar will be replaced by a solar facility, according to the power division.

Despite the project"s approval in 2016, formal work on it has not yet begun. The China Pakistan Economic Corridor is where the initiative was conceived (CPEC).

The govt wants China to substitute this imported coal-based power plant with a solar project of equal capacity in accordance with the sources of electricity division. According to The News, the government has decided to forbid the construction of new power plants using foreign fuel, according to Federal Minister for Power Engr. Khurram Dastgir.

According to the federal minister, the nation would look to expand its ability to generate electricity from domestic resources like solar, coal, wind, hydel, etc. He added that the nation"s nuclear power plants would still be built by the government.

Additionally, the government has chosen to replace imported coal in plants using domestic coal. According to Khurram Dastgir, they consist of the Sahiwal power plant, the Port Qasim plant, and the China Hub plant.

The country"s import bill has increased by almost $20 billion over the first 11 months of the fiscal year 2022 due in large part to the programmes, which aim to lower it.
