U.S. Ambassador Donald Blome visited Thatta, Jhimpir, and Karachi to highlight the U.S.-Pakistan “Green Alliance” framework and further strengthen the bilateral partnership between our two countries.
In Jhimpir, Ambassador Blome visited the USAID-funded power grid station and the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation-funded Hawa Energy Limited wind power project.
The plant contributes 50 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy to Pakistan’s national grid, enough to power more than 10,000 homes.
USAID support for power transmission infrastructure has also enabled 780 MW of wind power to flow to Pakistan’s power grid. He also visited the Center for Advanced Studies in Water at Mehran University of Engineering and Technology – initially established through a $12 million cooperative agreement between Mehran University and USAID – where he discussed the partnerships between U.S. and Pakistani universities that strengthen research in water and environment-related fields.
As part of the U.S.-Pakistan “Green Alliance” framework, the United States is working with partners throughout Pakistan to support clean energy and sustainable water management in the country.
“I’m incredibly pleased to be able to travel through Sindh province today and meet with our partners supporting the U.S.-Pakistan ‘Green Alliance’ framework,” said Ambassador Blome.
