Celebrating Power Progress: Gwadar's 300 MW Plant Set to Power Up in October

In October 2023, a 300-megawatt coal-fired power plant in Gwadar is set to become operational, according to official sources. This significant development aligns with Gwadar's 2050 Master Plan, designed to cater to the energy needs of approximately 150,000 residents by the end of 2023.

This power plant, overseen by an independent power producer, is a pivotal component of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a key initiative aimed at bolstering the region's energy infrastructure. By enhancing local power supply reliability, this project represents a step towards resolving the current power shortages that have hampered economic development and urban construction in Gwadar.
