K-Electric issued a press statement in which the company notified that it entered into a binding tripartite Joint Development Agreement (JDA) with China Datang Overseas Investment Company (CDTO) and China Machinery Company (CMEC), for the development of a 700MW (2x350 MW) coal fired power project at Port Qasim.
The agreement further consolidated the understanding reached between the three parties earlier this year. Considerable progress had been made on the project during the last few months. The agreement was a major step forward towards the finalisation of the flagship project. The project aims to bring investment of over US one billion dollars into Pakistan. This would not only help the country in diversifying the fuel mix but also lower the generation cost benefiting the end consumer.
CEO K-Electric, Tayyab Tareen along with the senior management received the high level delegation from CDTO and CMEC which included the President of CDTO Duan Zhongmin and Vice President of CMEC Wang Tianyi. Sharing his thoughts, KE CEO Tayyab Tareen said, "It gives us immense pleasure to join hands with companies like CDTO and CMEC for the development of this project of critical importance. KE is developing new generation projects at highest priority. This particular project will go a long way in addressing the power needs of the country, specifically the people of Karachi."
Duan Zhongmin, President CDTO stated, "As one of the largest Chinese power generation groups, China Datang shall always attach great importance to the power sector development of Pakistan. China Datang shall be fully committed to work closely with CMEC and K-Electric towards the completion of Port Qasim 2x350MW coal-fired power plant in a timely manner, which shall contribute to the solution of energy shortage, to boost the economy, and to serve the people of Karachi."
Wang Tianyi, Vice President of CMEC also added, "Being in Pakistan for more than 30 years, CMEC has always been devoting itself in improving the energy infrastructure of Pakistan. We, as a shareholder and EPC contractor, are highly optimistic to deliver a best-in-class power plant in a timely manner for the people and the prosperous of the city of Karachi."
