Jamshoro Power Station, 2010.

In February 2014, the Asian Development Bank agreed to loan $900 million to the government of Pakistan for a project to install a 600MW supercritical coal-fired power plant at Jamshoro.^[2] The Islamic Development Bank (IDB) approved $220 million for the Jamshoro Coal Power generation project. The Asian Development Bank had already approved $900m for the project, whereas $380m was to be contributed by the government to meet the overall estimated project cost of $1.5 billion.

The 600MW supercritical coal-fired power generation plant, using an 80/20 blend of imported sub-bituminous coal and domestic lignite when available, will accord with international and national environmental standards.^[3]
