Asian Power Awards recognises KE’s 560MW BQPS-II for innovation in energy efficiency
K-Electric’s 560MW Bin Qasim Power Station II (BQPS-II) was recognized for 2 awards at the global stage at the Asian Power Awards 2024. The privatized utility secured accolades in two categories: Gas Power Project of the Year – Pakistan, and Power Plant Upgrade of the Year – Pakistan. The infrastructure upgrades in the project enhance the availability and reliability of the high-efficiency power plant which was inducted into KE’s generation fleet under the USD 4 billion investment across the value chain post-privatization.
The company modified the infrastructure of the project to enable usage of RLNG as a secondary fuel, while also reducing auxiliary load requirements. Resultantly, the plant’s net efficiency has improved, leading to increased operational flexibility to meet the growing demands of the metropolis. These advancements highlight BQPS-II’s role as a leader in the power generation sector and provide a model for sustainable and resilient energy solutions in Pakistan.
