GE has signed contracts with Halmore Power Generation and Orient Power of Pakistan to provide its Predix-enabled digital power plant solutions. The Pakistan Government said in a statement: “This complements the government’s Vision 2025 to double power generation to over 45,000 MW and increase electricity access from 67 per cent to over 90 per cent of the population.”

The deployment of GE Power’s digital power plant solutions will enhance the thermal efficiency of Halmore’s Bhikki combined cycle power plant, and Orient Power’s combined cycle Balloki power plant in Punjab. This will be by using GE’s industrial internet to integrate advanced data analytics with heavy machinery. Implementation will commence later this year.
