These agreements, valued at US$66 million for the Shounter Hydropower Project and US$35 million for the Jagran-IV Hydropower Project, aim to significantly enhance Pakistan's renewable energy infrastructure by adding a combined total of 70MW hydropower capacity to the national grid.
The funding will facilitate the construction of essential infrastructure, including dams, water diversion systems, powerhouses, and transmission lines, marking a significant step forward in Pakistan's transition towards sustainable energy sources.
These projects not only aim to address the environmental and financial challenges associated with conventional energy sources but also underscore the critical role of clean energy in promoting sustainable development, economic growth, and social welfare across Pakistan.
This move reinforces the SFD's long-standing commitment to supporting Pakistan's development goals, having financed 41 development projects and programs since 1976 with soft loans and grants exceeding US$1.4 billion, aimed at fostering growth in various critical sectors throughout the country.
