Located 70 km west of Karachi, the Hub River thermal power plant was the first private energy-production project in Pakistan to receive international funding and support from commercial banks. It consists of four generating oil-fired units each rated at 323 MW gross output, located along the Arabian Sea, at the mouth of the Hub River, in the province of Baluchistan. This power plant with a capacity of 1,292 MW includes two remarkable construction features: a water intake built in the sea 200 metres from the shore, and a smokestack measuring 200 metres in height and 23 metres in diameter.
