The Gadani Power Project (also known as Pakistan Power Park) was a proposed energy complex in Gadani, Balochistan, Pakistan, under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.[1] In August 2013, the Pakistani government announced the establishment of ten coal power plants with a total capacity of 6,600 MW, with technical and financial assistance mostly from China. China would provide funds to cover 85% of the project cost, while the rest of the finances would be arranged by the government of Pakistan. The total cost of the project was PKR 144.6 billion.[2]
Ten 660 MW coal-based power plants at Gadani Energy Park were to be constructed; China agreed to invest in six projects, two would be constructed by ANC Dubai, and one project was to be initiated by the government of Pakistan.[3] Turkey's Ciner Group also agreed to start work on a 660 MW coal power plant at Gadani.[4]
In May 2017, the project was officially cancelled by the governments of Pakistan and China.[5]
