Recently, the first unit of Pakistan's Sukykhnari (SK) hydropower station has completed all electrical tests and is ready for grid connected power generation. This marks a crucial step forward for the SK project towards its COD schedule goal.
SK Hydropower Station is located on the Kunhar River in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan, 265 kilometers away from the capital Islamabad. It is a long tunnel, ultra-high head water diversion hydropower station. The water head is over 900 meters, and the power station is equipped with four impulse type units, with a total installed capacity of 884 megawatts. It is the impulse hydropower project with the highest water head and the largest single unit installed capacity undertaken by our company so far. The main construction contents of the project include water storage dams, diversion tunnels, underground powerhouses, etc. After the completion of the hydropower station, it will play a comprehensive role in power generation, irrigation, flood control and other benefits, which is of great significance for benefiting local people, improving people's livelihoods, and promoting local economic development.
The SK hydropower project is one of the key projects prioritized for implementation in the China Pakistan Economic Corridor, and has received high attention from the governments and various sectors of society of China and Pakistan. As the EPC general contractor and designer of the SK project, our company's leadership has always attached great importance to this project, equipped with elite personnel from various specialties, carefully designed by domestic designers, and actively cooperated with on-site design representatives to efficiently and high-quality complete various engineering drawings and on-site technical optimization drawings, laying a solid foundation for the smooth progress of the project.
