Pakistan: Dasu Hydropower Project to miss completion deadline
Islamabad: The construction of the Dasu Hydropower Project (Stage-I), which has an installed capacity of 2,160 MW, will now miss the earlier competition deadline.
Power generation from the project is now expected to take place from 2026 end.
Project management, while giving a briefing to WAPDA Chairman Lt-Gen (Retd) Sajjad Ghani during his visit to Dasu Hydropower Project, said construction work was continuing simultaneously on 12 different sites, reports The Nation.
The critical diversion system will be completed in May 2023, while electricity generation from the project will commence by the end of 2026, said a statement issued here by WAPDA.
Due to Land acquisition issues, the COVID Pandemic, and terrorism incidents which are all beyond the control of Wapda, the expected COD of the Dasu Stage-I Hydropower Project (HPP) has been pushed till FY 2026-27, said WAPDA in its bulk supply tariff petition shared with National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA), reports The Nation.
WAPDA had requested NEPRA to allow an extension in COD of the project till 2026-27.
