CHENGDU: A joint China-Pakistan coal-fired power plant signed a loan contract with banks in southwest China’s Sichuan Province, Xinhua news agency reported.
Hubco Coal Power Plant raised 1.5 billion U.S. dollars from a consortium of banks led by China Development Bank.
Construction of the power plant, costing about 2 billion U.S. dollars, began in March by China Power Hub Generation Company, a joint venture between Pakistan’s Hub Power Holdings Ltd. and China Power International Investment Ltd.
With a total capacity of 1.32 gigawatts, the project comprises two coal-based power plants with capacity of 660 MW each.
The power plant is expected to start operations in August 2019, eventually producing 9 billion kwh, meeting needs of 4 million Pakistani households and create 10,000 jobs in the country.
