The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government is set to embark on a significant energy project by laying a new 22-kilometer transmission line in the Swat district to harness cost-effective hydropower. According to Business Recorder, this initiative involves collaboration between the Peshawar Electric Supply Company (PESCO) and the Pakhtunkhwa Energy Development Organization (PEDO), with construction anticipated to commence shortly. The project is expected to save the province billions of rupees annually and generate substantial revenue. KP Secretary Energy Nisar Ahmed described the province-owned transmission lines as a 'game changer,' emphasizing their potential to transform the region's energy landscape (Business Recorder, February 09, 2026). Pakistan Today echoes this sentiment, highlighting that the transmission line will connect Madin to Khawaza Khela and integrate ongoing hydropower projects in the Swat corridor into the new network, further enhancing the province's energy efficiency (Pakistan Today, February 08, 2026).
