During a briefing by the GM/PD and the Project Managers of the Consultants and the Contractors, the Chairman was briefed that the river diversion system functioning satisfactorily during the recent high-flow season. A 1.3 Km-long left bank flushing tunnel has also been temporarily opened last week for the traffic to bypass main dam site and facilitate excavation of the dam abutment at the left bank as well. Excavation of the intake, power house, tail race tunnel, surge chamber and transformers cavern is also in progress.
The 4320 MW-Dasu Hydropower Project is planned to be completed in two stages. The under construction 2160 MW-Stage-I will start electricity generation in 2026.
Earlier, the Chairman also visited Diamer Basha Dam Project to review construction activities on the key sites. CEO Diamer Basha Dam, the GM, and representatives of the Consultants and the Contractors were also present on the occasion.
The Chairman was briefed that the construction activities are being carried out simultaneously on 10 sites of the main works, which include permanent bridge, diversion tunnel, left and right abutments and low level outlets.

The Power Construction Corporation of China (PowerChina)’s 132kV transmission line of the Dasu Hydropower Project has successfully transported two 55-tonne main transformers from Islamabad to the Dasu 132kV substation.
"The transport marks that all the main equipment of the project has reached the site, and the construction of the substation has entered the final stage.
The 132 kV transmission line from Duber hydel power station to Dasu was direly needed for a stable supply of electricity during the peak construction period of the Dasu hydropower project.
Dasu hydropower project, with a total capacity of 4320MW, is being executed in two phases. The first phase, which involves constructing a 2,160MW power generation facility, is currently in progress and is expected to commence electricity production in 2026.

DASU-KKH-01 (Karakorum Highway Relocation project of DASU Hydropower Project) is a highway reconstruction project for the submerged N35 section of DASU Hydropower Project.
The total length of the line is 26.488 km, mainly including 24.71km of KKH highway and 1.778 km of connecting line. Influenced by the natural and social environment, the original design mileage of K9+130 - K10+370 open excavation is changed into the tunnel, which is 4km north of DASU Town and can be reached along N35 highway.
The road location of tunnel entrance is K9+140 and the exit is K10+360. The total length of the tunnel is 1220 meters, which belongs to the middle long tunnel.
