The site for the project has been acquired, and the project will be overseen by the Gwadar Development Authority. The Makran division relies on Iranian supplies, and power shortages in Iran have resulted in load shedding in the Gwadar, Turbat, and Makran sectors.
These localities do not have access to the national grid and must rely on Iranian power. According to the source, the government is taking steps to connect these locations to the national grid in order to assure a continuous and smooth power supply to home users during the winter season.
