Imran Ismail, Governor of Sindh, paid a visit to K-Bin Electric’s Qasim Power Station-III (BQPS-III) project to check on the new addition to Karachi’s power grid.
The $650 million BQPS-III project would add 900 MW of generation capacity to KE’s existing network. This massive project is moving forward thanks to near partnership between leading engineering firms and KE to achieve a common vision of empowering Karachi.
Work is moving along quickly, with the first 450 MW unit nearing completion and scheduled to be operational in the next 5 to 6 weeks. RLNG will be the primary fuel source for the high-efficiency plant.
Not only would this help to minimize carbon emissions, but it will also help the company diversify its fuel mix and save money by lowering import prices for the government by removing the need for furnace oil.
