EU, AKF and NPAK Energy Strengthen Hunza’s Power Network and Unlock Local Renewable Energy Potential

Major progress has been made in strengthening electricity services in Hunza through collaborative efforts between the European Union (EU), Aga Khan Foundation (AKF), and NPAK Energy. This includes the commissioning of the first phase of an electricity loss-reduction program aimed at improving the efficiency and reliability of the power network. Additionally, the groundbreaking ceremony for the rehabilitation of the 3 MW Misgar Hydropower Plant signals a significant step towards boosting local renewable energy generation capacity. These initiatives are being implemented under the broader 'Energy Plus' program, demonstrating a commitment to enhancing energy infrastructure and unlocking the region's renewable energy potential. The projects are crucial for providing more stable and sustainable power to the Hunza region, benefiting local communities and supporting regional development. This collaboration highlights the importance of international partnerships in addressing energy challenges and promoting sustainable development in remote areas.
