Sindh to Develop Power System for Cheaper Electricity Supply

The Government of Sindh has announced plans to generate and distribute affordable electricity through a provincial transmission and distribution framework aimed at reducing power costs for consumers and supporting industrial growth.

Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah shared the initiative during a meeting with Danish Ambassador Maja Derrous Mortensen at the CM House, where both sides discussed energy cooperation, investment, and environmental sustainability.

The chief minister said the provincial government is working on establishing a Sindh-run transmission company to improve electricity supply efficiency and reduce line losses.

He stated that the key objective is to provide affordable electricity to both households and industries by improving generation efficiency and lowering distribution costs.

Murad Ali Shah highlighted Sindh’s strong potential in renewable energy, especially wind power along the coastal belt, positioning the province as a future hub for clean energy development.

He invited Danish companies to invest in wind energy and other green projects, emphasizing opportunities in sustainable infrastructure.

The Danish ambassador expressed strong interest in Sindh’s renewable energy sector, particularly wind energy, and reaffirmed Denmark’s commitment to supporting environmentally friendly development projects.

Both sides agreed that collaboration in green energy could create new investment opportunities and strengthen economic ties.

The meeting also discussed coastal development, including plans to upgrade Keti Bandar into a modern deep-sea port.

The chief minister said the project could reduce pressure on Karachi’s ports and open new trade routes, while the ambassador acknowledged its potential to boost regional connectivity.

Both sides agreed to explore further cooperation in energy, infrastructure, and investment, while also marking 75 years of diplomatic relations between Pakistan and Denmark.

Officials reiterated their commitment to expanding economic collaboration, particularly in sustainable and green development sectors.
