KARACHI: K-Electric (KE) and Pak Suzuki Motor Company Ltd have signed an agreement for the construction of a dedicated 132kV grid station at Pak Suzuki’s manufacturing facility in Karachi to ensure a reliable and efficient power supply.
According to KE, the new grid station will provide up to 20 megawatts (MW) of electricity, supporting Pak Suzuki’s expanding production requirements. The initiative underscores KE’s commitment to facilitating industrial growth by offering dependable and high-quality power solutions.
