Pakistan Secures $330 Million ADB Loan to Upgrade Power Network

Pakistan has secured a $330 million loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to improve and expand the electricity distribution network in the northern regions. The funding aims to enhance the delivery, reliability, and efficiency of clean energy across underserved areas. According to ADB, the project will support network upgrades, modern grid systems, and reduced transmission losses. It will also help strengthen infrastructure to better handle growing electricity demand and integrate more renewable sources into the national grid. The loan is part of Pakistan’s broader effort to upgrade its energy sector and transition toward cleaner and more stable power supply. Improved reliability is expected to benefit households, industries, and businesses that currently struggle with frequent outages and inconsistent energy access.
