\nThe Sahiwal Coal Power Plant under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project, has played a significant role in Pakistan\u2019s economy and created numerous employment opportunities for both local and non-local people.
\nThis project has not only helped address the energy shortage in the country but has also opened doors to economic development in various sectors.
\nTalking to media on Wednesday, Head of Procurement Department Engineer Ali Memon and Head of Corporate Culture Department Engineer Umer Shahid said that the plant has the capacity to generate 1,320 MW of electricity, which plays a crucial role in meeting Pakistan\u2019s energy needs, increasing industrial production, and promoting economic activities.
\nThey added that a modern training center has been established at the power plant, offering free training, skill workshops, and internships to the local community. The project has not only contributed to solving the energy crisis but also played a significant role in stabilizing the local economy and improving the quality of life for the community.
\nThe power plant not only meets Pakistan\u2019s energy needs but also symbolizes the cooperation and friendship between Pakistan and China. Engineer Memon said that Pakistan has long suffered from energy shortages, which have hindered the country\u2019s economic development. With this need in mind, the Sahiwal Coal Power Plant emerged as a key solution.
\nThe plant is equipped with state-of-the-art 2\u00d7660 MW supercritical coal-fired steam generators, which operate at approximately 570 degrees Celsius and generate 9 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually.
\nSupercritical technology, which operates at higher temperatures and pressures than conventional coal-fired plants, increases efficiency, reduces coal consumption, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions per unit of electricity produced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
