Pakistan seeks Bahrain’s investment in CPEC energy sector..​

.
A long-term plan is being worked out to transform bilateral ties between Pakistan and Bahrain into a strong economic partnership to create a win-win situation for both countries, said Pakistan’s Ambassador to Bahrain Muhammad Ayub.

“I see a lot of mutually beneficial opportunities in the areas of trade, investment, food security, energy, tourism, higher education, training and development,” said the envoy in an exclusive interview.

He highlighted that the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) offered enormous opportunities to investors from Bahrain, especially in the field of energy.

“Pakistan’s geostrategic location makes it a regional economic hub and an energy corridor,” he said. “Likewise, Bahrain’s location makes it an ideal gateway for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.”

While citing that Pakistan was an attractive tourist destination, he invited businessmen from Bahrain to explore the local scenic beauty and benefit from the huge investment opportunities in the sector.

He particularly pointed towards infrastructure projects such as hotels, resorts and parks. “Reciprocally, efforts are also being made to bring tourists from Pakistan to Bahrain.”

Talking about the investment opportunities in food industry, the envoy said that Bahraini investors could pour investment into food storage, processing, packaging and transportation in Pakistan to earn significant profit.

Pakistan power project using China’s Hualong One connected to grid

The K-3 unit of the Karachi Nuclear Power Project in Pakistan, the fourth entity to use a China-designed third-generation nuclear reactor, was successfully connected to the grid on Friday, laying solid foundations for commercial operation.

All four of the units adopting China’s Hualong One nuclear reactor are now connected to the grid and are generating electricity, China National Nuclear Corp (CNNC) said in a statement on Friday.

Each Hualong One unit is expected to generate nearly 10 billion kWh of electricity annually after being completed, which can meet the annual electricity demand of more than 4 million households in Pakistan – equivalent to reducing use of standard coal by 3.12 million tons, and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 8.16 million tons every year. It is also the equivalent of planting more than 70 million trees, CNNC said.

It is of great significance for optimizing Pakistan's energy structure, as well as reaching carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals, CNNC added.

The success in construction and operation of the nuclear reactors in Pakistan will make the Hualong One technology better received in the global market, especially in countries and regions participating in the Belt and Road Initiative, observers said.

The K-2 unit of the Karachi Nuclear Power Plant in Pakistan, which also uses Hualong One, officially started commercial operation on May 20 last year.

As China's "calling card" for its nuclear power industry, Hualong One has become one of the most widely recognized third-generation nuclear power reactors in the market.

All of Hualong One’s core components are produced domestically, and it has a design life of 60 years and meets the strictest safety standards in the world, according to a report from the Xinhua News Agency.

In May 2015, construction began on the world's first Hualong One demonstration project in Fuqing. On January 30, the world's first nuclear power unit under Hualong One, unit 5 of CNNC's Fuqing nuclear power plant, entered commercial operation.

With Hualong One online, China is now at the world forefront of third-generation nuclear technology, alongside countries like the US, France and Russia, the Xinhua News Agency reported, citing CNNC Chairman Yu Jianfeng.

The commercial use of Hualong One will also help to meet China’s goal for CO2 emissions to peak before 2030 and to achieve carbon neutrality before 2060, Yu added.

The project is under construction since 2017.
234m deep shaft is located at the end of the 23.2km long headrace tunnel. It has two chambers namely upper and lower chambers while will neutralize the hammering effect of water due to the sudden shutdown of generating units.
Due to poor ground conditions, mechanical excavation and installation of heavy support system including lattice girders and rock anchors are being implemented.
