Power outages in Pakistan are expected to drop in the next five years as the country's new Karot Hydropower Project, the first project of the Silk Road Fund initiated by Chinese President Xi Jinping, connects to the energy grid.
Located about 65 kilometers away from Islamabad along the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, the hydropower plant is currently under construction, with the first unit scheduled connect to the grid by April 2021.
"We’re trying to make it ahead of schedule,” said Li Zhili, deputy team leader of Karot Power Company.
"The construction started on December 1, 2016. Now the work is going smoothly and 12 percent of the whole project has been finished.”
