GE Power has announced that it will provide advanced boiler and steam turbine technology to power Pakistan’s first ultra-supercritical power plant in Deh Ghangiaro, Bin Qasim, Karachi. The 660 MW power plant will be constructed by SEPCOIII and is planned to commence commercial operation in 2021.

The Lucky Electric power plant will be the first power plant in Pakistan located outside Thar district that will use lignite mined from the Sind Engro Coal Mining Company (SECMC) Mine at Thar Block II, in addition to imported lignite as a back-up fuel.

The boilers will use Beater Wheel mills and proven coal preparation technology, essential to handling high-moisture lignite.
