The project comprises 747 MW combined cycle power plant consisting of two gas turbines of 243MW each, two heat recovery steam generators (HRSG) followed by one steam turbine having a capacity of 261 MW. Two 243-megawatt thermal power plants had started power generation on 15 March and 15 April, this year, respectively, while remaining one will start commissioning from May 15. Located in Sindh on the west bank of River Indus in the vicinity of Guddu Barrage, the project is approximately 70-km west of the city of Sadiqabad (Punjab) and ten kilometers east of Kashmore. The project was approved in 2008 but delayed due to various reasons but the PMLN Govt persuaded the Chinese company and restarted the project on the same cost as it was in 2008. The project cost is Rs 60 billion and is sponsored by Chinese Exim Bank. (Admin)
