KARACHI: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah on Friday announced an ambitious plan to generate and distribute affordable electricity through a provincial transmission and distribution framework to provide relief to domestic consumers and boost industrial growth across the province.

Sharing his views with Danish Ambassador Maja Dyrberg Mortensen at the CM House, he said that the provincial government was actively working on projects to produce low-cost electricity and deliver it efficiently through its own transmission company.

“Our objective is to ensure affordable electricity for households and industry alike by improving generation efficiency and reducing line losses,” he said, adding that cheaper power would directly translate into public relief and enhanced economic activity.

According to a press statement, the meeting discussed at length strengthening bilateral cooperation, investment opportunities, renewable energy, and environmental sustainability.

The chief minister said that Sindh was keen to play a proactive role not only in power generation but also in distribution, particularly to ensure that underserved and industrial areas receive uninterrupted and cost-effective electricity.

Highlighting the province’s renewable energy potential, the chief minister said Sindh possessed vast opportunities in wind energy, especially along its coastal belt.

“The Sindh government is fully committed to promoting renewable energy and creating an enabling environment for investors,” he said, inviting Danish companies to explore opportunities in wind power and other green energy initiatives.

Ambassador Mortensen expressed a strong interest in Sindh’s renewable energy sector, particularly wind energy, and reiterated Denmark’s commitment to supporting environmentally sustainable projects.

She said that collaboration in green energy could open new avenues for investment and strengthen economic ties between the two sides.

The meeting also focused on coastal development, with the chief minister highlighting the strategic importance of Keti Bandar.
