As a flagship project of the Belt and Road Initiative, C PAC is an excellent manifestation of the China-Pakistan Four Seasons Comprehensive Strategic Partnership and mutually beneficial cooperation. The project is based on the principles of broad consultation, shared partnership and shared benefits, which is currently entering a new phase of high quality development. Significant progress has been made the first hydroelectric project, the Kurt plant, has started storing water. 95% of the construction work of this project has been completed and 720 MW of electricity will be generated from its completion. This power plant is located on the river Helium in Punjab. According to the plan, the Kurt hydroelectric power plant will start generating electricity by the middle of next year. Has gone The CPA is a priority project in energy cooperation and the first project in the Belt and Road.
Construction of the Kurt plant was started in 2015. During the six years of the construction phase, the project has introduced modern Chinese construction standards and concepts to Pakistan. With the completion of the Kurt project, the average annual power generation will reach 3.2 billion kWh, making it possible to supply clean energy to Pakistan. Will help solve the problem. The project has greatly benefited the local people. During the construction period, the project employed about 5,000 people.
On the other hand, this project is also a manifestation of C-Pack's clean and green vision, which will definitely improve Pakistan's access to clean, low cost and sustainable energy. China and Pakistan are committed to C-PAC's clear and green vision and the credit goes to both countries for the fact that despite the COD-19 epidemic, C-PAC's construction activities have not slowed down but in the light of its stated goals. I am moving fast. The early launch of projects such as the Crop Hydro power Station is a significant "milestone" in the development of C-Pack.
During the completion of this project, protection of environment has been given special importance. In this regard, special attention has been paid to the protection of aquatic life, especially fish. During the construction phase, it has been ensured that protected To this end, the project team deployed about 100 people to search for fish trapped in the lower reaches of the river or among the rocks. The project is also collaborating with the local government to implement a biodiversity management plan with an investment of 3 million to raise awareness about plant and animal conservation in nearby villages. Coins and vehicles and other equipment could be provided to the administration for monitoring.
In addition to biodiversity, strict measures have been taken to monitor and protect river water and air quality since the beginning of the Kurt project in 2015. Contaminated water discharged from construction sites, residences and offices is first treated. And then discharged. In addition, to control dust, roads to the project, including construction sites, are regularly sprayed with water to maintain good air quality. Tree planting efforts have also been significantly enhanced for the effective protection of water and soil. There will be a reduction of 3.5 million tons. Thus, Pakistan is rapidly moving towards renewable energy, green energy with the help of China, which is a major part of projects. It also reduces the cost of electricity generation and enables effective protection of the environment. In any case, China is at the forefront of promoting global green development through a number of strong measures to tackle climate change and protect the planet. It is further strengthening its global efforts with the help of Pakistan in the production of clean energy through such projects, which will surely enable Pakistan to move on the path of green and green development.
