Pakistan saves $27 million in the CASA-1000 project after successful talks with international contractors. The agreement helped reduce extra costs linked to project delays and maintenance.<\/p>\n
Pakistan officials held a key meeting on March 9\u201310, 2026, in Sweden. The delegation included senior energy officials and representatives from the national grid company.<\/p>\n
Earlier, the contractor group had demanded around $32.9 million from Pakistan. These charges were related to care and custody of equipment during delays.<\/p>\n
After negotiations, both sides agreed to limit the total cost to $9 million. This amount will cover both Pakistan and Tajikistan until February 2028.<\/p>\n
This decision means Pakistan saves $27 million in the CASA-1000 project. It also ensures that important power infrastructure remains safe and ready for use.<\/p>\n
The project aims to bring electricity from Central Asia to South Asia. However, delays happened due to the situation in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
Now, the power transmission system is expected to be completed by September 2027. Temporary arrangements will continue to protect the system until then.<\/p>\n
The agreement also allows a short extension if needed. In that case, costs may increase slightly on a monthly basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
