According to China Nuclear Industrial Group, construction has recently begun on the Chashma Nuclear Power Plant Unit 5 (C-5) in Pakistan. This is the seventh nuclear reactor China has exported to Pakistan, and the third example of the third-generation nuclear reactor, Hualong-1, developed independently by China, to be exported to Pakistan.

The two countries have cooperatively completed six reactors so far, providing about 30 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean power to the region each year. After the completion of the C-5 project, annual power generation is expected to reach approximately 10 billion kwh, further optimizing Pakistan’s energy structure and driving local economic and social development.
