We realized that we were really going to start building a dam, and it might completely change the fate of this place. The Karot Hydropower Station in Pakistan is the first large-scale hydropower project under the Belt and Road Initiative, and it brings far more than energy to the locals.

Clean, green and efficient, this is the evaluation of the Karot Hydropower Station by Pakistan Ambassador to China Moin Haq. As a witness from the start of the project to the commissioning of power generation, he said that Karot will not only provide clean electricity to millions of local people and alleviate the serious energy shortage, but will also further increase the proportion of clean energy in Pakistan and optimize the energy structure.
