HYDERABAD: US Consul General Conrad Tribble delivered 2,400 electric poles valued at $500,000 to the Hyderabad Electric Supply Company (Hesco), which was among the worst-hit distribution companies, with extensive damage to its power supply network, following the 2022 floods.<br/><br/>The US government partnered with Hesco in its flood recovery and rehabilitation efforts through the US Agency for International Development (USAID) funded Power Sector Improvement Activity and provided 2,400 pre-stressed concrete high-tension spun (hollow) poles, essential for the restoration and rebuilding of power distribution networks, said a press release issued on Monday.<br/><br/>Shaikh Jamil Gul, chairman of the Hesco Board of Directors, received the poles at the ceremony and expressed gratitude for the crucial support, stating “I wish to extend Hesco’s sincere gratitude to the US government for their invaluable support and unwavering dedication. USAID’s collaboration and assistance, including the handover of 2,400 spun poles for the rehabilitation of flood-affected areas, will not only strengthen vital infrastructure but also enhance the resilience of communities against natural disasters.”<br/><br/>Consul General Conrad Tribble appreciated Hesco’s efforts in maintaining the supply of electricity immediately after floods despite on-the-ground challenges. “The US government’s assistance to Hesco is just one facet of our broader support to Pakistan’s energy sector. Our energy partnership is now more critical than ever as we work together to mitigate the effects of climate change – our greatest long-term global challenge,” remarked Consul General Tribble.
