The location was chosen for its suitable terrain, accessibility, and proximity to existing transmission lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A senior official from the Ministry of Energy (Power Division) told Wealth Pakistan that the new grid will help stabilize Balochistan\u2019s power network and meet rising industrial and residential demand. \u201cThis project will significantly reduce load constraints and improve voltage stability in southern Balochistan,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The documents also show progress on related transmission projects, including the 765\/500\/220\/132kV Islamabad West Grid Station (Lot-IV) \u2014 a World Bank\u2013financed project under Pakistan\u2019s power infrastructure enhancement program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Executed by M\/s NWEPDI\u2013TBEA JV with M\/s GOPA Intec as consultant, the USD 180 million Islamabad West project began on May 21, 2024, and is due for completion by January 21, 2027. A 1,625-kanal site was handed over in July 2024, and construction of boundary walls and equipment procurement is underway. The NTDC reports 18 percent physical and 16.8 percent financial progress, with work proceeding as scheduled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both the Mastung Grid Station and other ongoing projects represent vital investments in modernizing Pakistan\u2019s national transmission system and providing stable, regionally balanced power supply.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD, Oct 18 (APP): Mastung is set to get a new 220-kilovolt (kv) grid station to strengthen the power transmission network and improve electricity supply reliability in Balochistan.
