On August 12, 2024, Chinese and Pakistani staff celebrated the first unit's grid connected power generation at the Sujijinari hydropower station in the Mansehra area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in northwestern Pakistan.

The first unit of the Sujijinari Hydropower Station in Pakistan was officially connected to the grid for power generation on August 12th, marking a crucial step towards achieving commercial operation of the project.

The Sujijinari Hydropower Station is located on the Kunha River in the Mansehra area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province in northwestern Pakistan. It is invested and constructed by China Energy Engineering Corporation Overseas Investment Co., Ltd. It is a key project prioritized for implementation in the China Pakistan Economic Corridor and the largest hydropower station invested and constructed overseas by the company's parent company, China Energy Engineering Corporation.

He Xiongfei, Deputy General Manager of China Energy Construction Overseas Investment Co., Ltd. and Chairman and General Manager of the project company, told Xinhua News Agency that after the first unit was connected to the grid for power generation, the Sujijinali Hydropower Station began to deliver clean electricity to the local area. The project is expected to provide affordable clean electricity to over one million local households annually, making a positive contribution to Pakistan's energy structure adjustment, alleviating supply-demand imbalances, promoting infrastructure construction, and economic development.
