ISLAMABAD, Apr 9th (Gwadar Pro) - China National Technical Import and Export Corporation (CNTIC), a subsidiary of Genertec, signed a contract to augment 220kV Grid Station Shikarpur, located in Sindh, with National Transmission and Despatch Company Ltd. (NTDC) this week.
Shikarpur project, the first electricity project CNTIC contracted to build in Pakistan, is just a beginning and they will sign more grid projects in 2021. It means there’s a new Chinese player in the domestic power construction camp.
It’s a landmark for both sides. Zhao Yu, General Manager of Power Grids Division of CNTIC, introduced to Gwadar Pro: “From NTDC’s side, in order to improve the availability, reliability and efficiency of national transmission grid, they created the National Transmission Modernization I Project. Shikarpur station, one of the most important key parts of this huge plan, will decisively improve grid construction in Pakistan.”
