BEIJING – Pakistan is to get around 5,600MW of electricity through five major projects under the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) by the year 2017-18.
Chinese companies are already working on these energy projects with full enthusiasm. The total cost of these projects has been estimated around US dollar 10 billion, being provided by the Chinese Banks. Some of the cost will be borne by the companies themselves – which enjoy the complete support of the Chinese top leadership – this was stated by Pakistan’s Special Envoy on CPEC Zafaruddin Mahmood in an interview with news agency here on Tuesday.
