As per the terms of the contract, HEI was responsible for its installation works and commissioning schedule.

"HA technology is providing Pakistan with efficient, flexible, reliable and low-cost power."

NPPMCL CEO Rashid Mahmood said: “I am proud to announce that the Balloki project is now able to supply up to 1,223MW of uninterrupted power to the national grid, the equivalent electricity needed to supply up to 2.5 million Pakistani homes.

“This is the second regasified liquefied natural gas (RLNG) power project developed by NPPMCL, the first being the Haveli Bahadur Shah (HBS) power plant, which entered full-fledged combined cycle commercial operations in May 2018.”

For this project, HEI sub-contracted GE for two HA gas turbines, as well as some auxiliary equipment and technical advisory services.
