Chief Minister of Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pervez Khattak, has expressed confidence this week that investment by the Chinese government and private firms would help overcome the province’s energy crisis.

Mr Khattak was addressing a delegation from Chinese energy company Cinotec, and signed a memorandum of understanding under which the Chinese company will install 25 hydroelectric power units along the Swat River.

These units will have a total generating capacity of 500 MW once they are operational and fully integrated into the provincial grid in four years.
