The Karot Hydropower Project, a flagship project under the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), is being constructed in Karot area of Pakistan's eastern Punjab province. So far, around 95 percent of the project is completed.
For each year, the Karot hydropower station is planned to generate some 3.2 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity, reducing 3.5 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
China has been assisting Pakistan to produce clean energy through projects like Karot and Suki Kinari hydropower stations for promoting a green economy and development.
