Fast Track” Gas Engines Power Plant to Bridge
Demand-Supply Gap and Provide Affordable Energy
Fast track turnkey project within existing plant
Won the Asian Power Plant Gold & Silver Award
Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC) is using 64 of GE’s Jenbacher gas engines
to supply 180 MW of urgently needed power to the local grid. GE’s Jenbacher gas
engines have helped KESC bridge the demand-supply gap, enabling the company
to manage their load as per their distribution policy. KESC installed 32 of GE’s J620
natural gas-fueled engines in each of two power plants in Karachi.
“
KESC selected GE’s Jenbacher gas
engines because they have a proven
track record in Pakistan with the
capability for rapid installation.
Furthermore, GE also has the manu-
facturing capacity to meet our needs
for such a large number of engines
in a very short period of time,” said
Tabish Gauhar, CEO of KESC.
