ISLAMABAD, Jun 2: The SK Hydropower Station hosted an academic exchange and on-site learning session for a delegation of faculty members and electrical engineering students from the University of the Punjab, providing them with firsthand exposure to modern hydropower technologies and project management practices.

According to a statement issued on Tuesday, more than 20 faculty members and students participated in the visit, which was organized by SK Hydro (Private) Limited, the owner of the project.

SK Hydropower Station is mainly invested, constructed and operated by China Energy Overseas Investment Co., Ltd., who also serves as the major shareholder of SK Hydro (Private) Limited. The station officially commenced commercial operation on September 14, 2024. To date, it has produced more than 3.5 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity.

As a flagship green energy project under CPEC, it has continuously underpinned Pakistan’s economic growth and energy security. Going forward, the project will further deepen cooperation with local Pakistani partners and prioritize talent training. We will continue to act as a professional training platform for Pakistan’s hydropower sector and consolidate the long-standing friendly cooperation between China and Pakistan in the energy industry.
