The Chief Minister of Sindh, Syed Murad Ali Shah, has announced a major plan to provide affordable electricity to households and industries by developing a provincial transmission and distribution system.
He shared this vision during a meeting with Danish Ambassador Maja Derrous Mortensen at the CM House, where both sides discussed cooperation in renewable energy, investment, and environmental sustainability.
Murad Ali Shah said the Sindh government is working on producing low-cost electricity and ensuring efficient delivery through a Sindh-managed transmission company. He explained that improving power generation efficiency and reducing line losses would help bring down electricity prices for consumers.
“Our goal is to provide affordable electricity to both households and industries, which will not only give relief to the public but also support economic growth,” he stated.

The chief minister also highlighted Sindh’s strong potential in renewable energy, especially wind power along its coastal areas. He said the province could become a regional hub for clean energy and invited Danish companies to invest in wind and other green energy projects.
Ambassador Mortensen showed keen interest in Sindh’s renewable energy sector and reaffirmed Denmark’s support for environmentally friendly initiatives. She noted that cooperation in green energy could open new opportunities for investment and strengthen economic ties between Pakistan and Denmark.
The discussion also included plans for coastal development, particularly the transformation of Keti Bandar into a modern deep-sea port. Murad Ali Shah said this project could reduce the burden on Karachi’s ports and boost regional trade.
Both sides agreed to explore further collaboration in energy, infrastructure, and investment, while also celebrating 75 years of diplomatic relations between Pakistan and Denmark.
