The 269MW wind and solar project at Dhabeji, Thatta, will displace expensive thermal generation, saving Rs176 billion over its lifetime and projecting USD 986 million in foreign exchange savings. K-Electric's initiative aims to diversify its energy mix with this project, which secured a record-low tariff of Rs8.9189 per kWh. This development reduces Pakistan's reliance on imported fuels and exposure to volatile global prices, enhancing energy security. Significant foreign exchange savings could ease pressure on the USD/PKR rate, potentially influencing local gold prices.
