MIRPUR: President of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), Sardar Masood Khan has said that Pakistan and AJK are fast becoming self-sufficient in the power generation.

“AJK owing to water resources is especially focusing on the production of renewable energy from its rivers and in the next 15 years will be able to produce over six-seven thousand megawatts of electricity”, President Masood expressed these in his comments on the eve of the inaugural ceremony of 1410 MW fourth extension hydropower project at Tarbela Saturday, AJK Presidential Secretariat Sources told APP on Sunday.

This electricity, he said, would be enough to cater to the whole of AJK and shall also contribute to Pakistan’s national grid.

The AJK President yesterday attended the historic event marking the commissioning of the first unit of 470 MW under the 1410 MW 4th extension hydropower project inaugurated by Prime Minister of Pakistan Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Saturday, they said.
