China Power Hub Generation Company (Pvt.) Ltd (CPHGC) and General Electric has completed 1,320 megawatts power plant in Hub, Balochistan.

The power plant is equipped with two units each of GE steam turbines, generators and boilers that were supplied to the project's engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors Northwest Electric Power Design Institute Co. Ltd. (NWEPDI) and Tianjin Electric Power Construction Company (TEPC) under an agreement signed in 2016, stated the .

“We are proud to deliver this project with agile execution and completed this work in cooperation with GE on schedule and on budget. We are excited that this landmark project will play a significant role in helping Pakistan to deliver on its energy mix ambitions and help to tackle the electricity shortfall that is hindering Pakistan's progress," said Mr. Zhao Yonggang, CEO, CPHGC in a joint statement.

Construction of the CPHGC Power Plant at Hub, a joint venture of China Power International Holding Limited (CPIH) with Pakistan's Hub Power Company (HUBCO), began in March 2017 and realized an impressive milestone earlier this year by synchronizing 660MW to the grid three months ahead of schedule, just 27 months after the project received notice to proceed, and is now in full commercial operation.

The project will help Pakistan diversify its energy mix allowing a significant reduction in the cost of electricity generation in Pakistan. It is one of the infrastructure ventures supported under the China Pakistan Economic Corridor.

“GE is proud to serve Pakistan with advanced technology and tailored solutions that address the specific requirements of the country… The successful completion of CPHGC power plant underlines the strong collaboration among GE and its partners. Together, we brought the world's best to power Pakistan," stated Massimo Gallizioli, CEO of GE Steam Power in the Middle East, North Africa & Turkey.
