ISLAMABAD (Xinhua): Surrounded by patches of wheat, sugarcane and guava orchards, the 1,320-megawatt coal-fired power plant located in the Sahiwal district of Pakistan's east Punjab province is playing a significant role for the electricity-starved country, and has changed local people's negative impression about thermal power plants.
As a major investment under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the Sahiwal power plant has so far generated 21.83 billion KWh of electricity, effectively narrowing the gap in power supply in the country, especially in the Punjab province.
