Updated photographs of Diversion Tunnels Dasu_Hydropower Project

The project is expected to start electricity generation in the second half of 2024, while all six units of the Stage-I, with cumulative generation capacity of 2160MW, will be completed by early 2025.

Dasu Hydropower Project is being constructed on the River Indus upstream of Dasu town. WAPDA is implementing the project in two stages – each stage having a generation capacity of 2160MW.

On completion, Stage-I of the project will contribute more than 12 billion units of electricity per annum to the National Grid. The Stage-II, after its completion, will also provide another 9 billion units to the system every year.

Suki Kinari Hydropower Project (884MW)– Another Landmark Achieved

On 19th September, the last drilling rod of raise boring rig broke through the last barrier and successfully penetrated the headrace tunnel. The surge shaft total depth is 233m with a diameter of 7.45. The completion of pilot hole lay down a solid foundation for the smooth excavation of the surge shaft in the later period.
