KESC invested at least $ 1 billion during the last four years to facilitate uninterrupted power supply to the residents of the metropolis.

The capacity enhancement plans would be completed within a span of two years and would be funded by local and foreign entities in the shape of both debt and equity. KESC CEO Tabish Gauhar said that “we believe in the potential that Pakistan offers and despite the difficult operating environment we have demonstrated this through unprecedented investments in the past.
KESC is undertaking combined cycle projects at its three power plants at Korangi and SITE that will significantly enhance the efficiency of these plants and add additional 47 MW of generation capacity.
