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.
