Turkish rental power plant to be inaugurated in Karachi today

KARACHI: The Turkish rental power plant is all set to be inaugurated in Karachi on Sunday (today). This is the most expensive rental power of the world; it will start power supply to Karachi within a month.



This floating power plant was built by a Turkish company Kiyabe and it was commissioned in 1982. After commissioning, for a long time it generated power at a dockyard of United Arab Emirates and now it has been docked for next five years at Ibrahim Hyderi Dockyard of Karachi.



This power plant contains five units which can generate electricity through gas and furnace oil both.



The Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) has refused to provide gas supply and now this rental power plant will generate electricity by using 1200 tons of furnace oil daily
