The Guddu Thermal Power Plant, also known by other names such as Central Power Generation Company Limited, and GENCO-II, is a thermal power station located in Guddu, Sindh, Pakistan.[1][2]
Built in the 1980s, the power plant was built with joint technical cooperation and financial assistance from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).[3]
In April 2014, the then-Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif inaugurated commissioning of two gas turbines of 243 MW each.[4]
As of 2017[update], the station had seventeen installed power units and its contribution to the national grid stood between 1,400 MW to 1,750 MW.[5][6]
