CPEC projects worth $25bn completed: PM

  • Says clean energy projects were expected to be completed in the next four to five years under the CPEC
Published October 19, 2023

ISLAMABAD: Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar said on Wednesday that his country has completed more than 50 projects worth $25 billion under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Kakar was speaking at the Belt and Road Forum in Beijing.

The CPEC is a flagship project under China’s Belt and Road Initiative, with more than $65 billion pledged for road, rail and other infrastructure developments in the South Asian nation of 241 million people.

“We have completed over 50 projects worth $25 billion under the CPEC,” Kakar said, adding that a very significant airport at the Gwadar port, which is being built with Chinese money as part of the CPEC, will soon be inaugurated.

Kakar seeks Chinese investment in Pakistan’s renewable energy sector

Representatives of more than 130 countries, largely from the Global South, attended the forum, including several heads of state, of whom the most prominent was Xi’s “dear friend” Russian President Vladimir Putin Building industrial zones with Chinese and local Pakistani collaboration remains in the pipeline, together with a rail track of over 2600km costing nearly $7 billion, the biggest single project under the CPEC.

Clean energy projects were expected to be completed in the next four to five years under the CPEC, Kakar said.

Then why is CPEC a flop? These are the government's own words.

I am frightened to know that clean energy projects to completed in next four to five years. For masses these projects will only add capacity payments and rest of the benefits no idea. Nation already in capacity payments trap and any new plant either solar or wind or other will only make the trap stronger

Power companies will be in surprise in few years. Even if they generate electricity at 0 cost still transmission cost will be greater than roof top solar systems. Large scale era of energy is over. Once consumers install solar companies will fall.
