The project will also ensure development of hub-bypass and provision of energy solution.
100 MW Solar Park in Hub SEZ
The Project: Due to upcoming expansion of Hub SEZ and existing energy requirements (shortfall of approximately 60MW), there is a need to setup new energy project. Currently, the K-Electric line is providing 33MW out of the total shortfall. As LIEDA (Lasbela Industrial Estate Development) already has power evacuation facility, it can purchase the power from the Project for onward distribution to industries. It is understood that there can be potentially alternate sources including renewable energy sources including wind and solar. Further, a hybrid power mix can be explored to lower the cost to optimal levels. The Project will assist in resolving the power issues for the Hub SEZ Phase II and may also be expanded, based upon enhancement in requirement.
O&M of Newly Constructed 30 Bed Hospital in Nawakilli
The Project: Quetta city has a population of approximately 4.0 Million however the city does not have any adequate healthcare facility.
