But he went a step further proposing a reverse energy flow to allow bilateral trade through the same network, especially during Pakistan s off-peak winter months. CASA-1000 is not just a transmission line it s a platform for prosperity, Leghari said. Pakistan is ready to supply electricity to regional partners when they need it most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The minister underscored Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif s commitment to completing the long-delayed project, calling it a strategic tool for energy security, economic growth, and regional trust-building. Despite delays, he said Pakistan has secured and maintained its CASA-related infrastructure and is fully aligned with the project s future rollout. Energy ministers from Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan, along with global stakeholders, attended the meeting. CASA-1000, once operational, is expected to transport 1,300MW of clean energy across 1,200 kilometers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reference Link:- <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenews.com.pk\/print\/1312068-pakistan-pushes-two-way-power-trade-via-casa-1000-corridor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.thenews.com.pk\/print\/1312068-pakistan-pushes-two-way-power-trade-via-casa-1000-corridor<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CASA-1000 is not just a transmission line it s a platform for prosperity, say Leghari Pakistan on Thursday pitched a bold proposal to transform the CASA-1000 energy corridor into a two-way trade route, offering to supply surplus electricity to Central Asian partners during winter, as Power Minister Awais Leghari called for deeper regional energy cooperation.
