DP World and K-Electric (KE) have signed an agreement to build a dedicated 132 kV grid station at the Qasim International Container Terminal (QICT), a key trade gateway for Pakistan.

The project will provide a reliable 26MW power supply, supporting the terminal’s growing operations and the country’s expanding role in global trade.

The grid station aims to enhance power resilience, improve operational efficiency, and support future electrification at the terminal, reflecting both companies’ commitment to sustainability, innovation, and reliability.

The partnership will meet the increasing energy demand of port operations, enabling uninterrupted logistics and trade activity.

Sadia Dada, KE’s Chief Distribution & Marcomms Officer, said, “The move to grid power represents growing confidence in the system’s reliability and cost competitiveness especially for industries with expanding operations. Our agreement with DP World reflects a shared understanding that stable, high-quality electricity is fundamental to growth and efficiency.”

Junaid Zamir, DP World’s CEO of QICT, said, “Port Qasim is one of Pakistan’s most vital trade gateways, and reliable energy is the backbone of its continued growth.  This partnership with KE to install a dedicated grid station enables us to strengthen our terminal’s resilience and supports our goal of enabling more sustainable trade across Pakistan and beyond.”

The new facility will ensure uninterrupted power for QICT’s operations, energising critical sectors such as ports, manufacturing, and logistics.
