JHANG: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is expected to inaugurate the first unit of the Haveli Bahadur Shah Power Plant with a production capacity of 760 megawatts of electricity in Jhang today.

The total production capacity of the Combined Cycle Power Plant is 1230 MW and it is fueled by Liquefied Natural Gas.

The first unit has been made operational in a record period of 21 months, according to the government.

The project is expected to be environment friendly with a minimum impact on climate change since the most efficient technology has been used which guarantees the productivity and regulation of the plant at 62.44 per cent on LNG, said officials.

This project will be another step towards the government’s agenda of providing the country with balanced sources of energy, they added.
