The provincial government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has announced plans to construct its own power transmission line, a move aimed at enhancing the region’s energy infrastructure and reducing reliance on the national grid. The initiative is expected to provide a reliable supply of electricity to both urban and rural areas, promoting economic growth and development.
The decision comes in response to ongoing power shortages and the need for improved energy distribution systems within the province. Officials stated that the new transmission line will facilitate the delivery of electricity from various local power generation sources, including hydropower plants, which are abundant in the region.
The project is expected to create job opportunities and improve energy access for thousands of residents. It is part of a broader strategy to achieve energy independence and ensure sustainable power supply for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s growing population.
Construction is set to begin in early 2025, with officials optimistic that the project will be completed within two years. The provincial government is also exploring partnerships with private investors to support the initiative and attract further investment in the local energy sector.
