Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission Completes Dome Placement at Chashma-5 Nuclear Plant
The 1,200 MW reactor is expected to start producing electricity in 2030, officials said, as Pakistan and China deepen nuclear cooperation.
- On Tuesday, Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir attended the dome placement ceremony for the Chashma-5 Nuclear Power Plant in Mianwali.
- Built in collaboration with China, the dome placement occurred three and a half years after the plant's inauguration, marking a significant milestone for the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission ahead of schedule.
- Once operational in 2030, the 1,200 MW unit will join six existing plants generating 3,530 MW of electricity while preventing almost 15 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually.
- PM Shehbaz Sharif described the project as providing clean, reliable electricity, stating "no nation could build a prosperous future unless it first safeguarded its future" through energy independence.
- Expanding strategic cooperation, the Pakistan-China partnership aims to help Pakistan pursue economic ambitions, attract investment, and accelerate socioeconomic development through reliable, low-carbon power generation.
