 PROJECT LOCATION
 07 km North of Dasu town, District Kohistan,
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan

 350 km North of Islamabad, Capital city of

Pakistan

 74 km downstream of the Diamer Basha Dam

site
Dasu Hydropower Project Background

 The energy sector in Pak. is suffering from an acute energy

crises .
 caused by an increasing gap between insufficient supply
and a growing demand.
 Electricity use over the decade between 2001 and 2011

grew an estimated 7.6 percent per year.

 Supply increased in the same period only 3.5 percent per

year, resulting in a shortfall of over 7,700 MW in 2011.

 If production is not accelerated, the gap between demand

and supply is expected to increase to over 17,000 MW by

2029.
Dasu Hydropower Project Background

The Vision 2025 Program of WAPDA: In order to

increase hydropower generation capacity while
maintaining water supply to the Indus irrigation
system, the Water and Power Development Authority
(WAPDA) prepared its “Vision 2025” program. The
proposed DHP is an integral part of this program and
the Power Policy 2013 of the GoP.
 Project Objective
 To facilitate a sustainable expansion of Pakistan’s
electricity generation capacity in order to bridge the
increasing gap between supply and demand.
 contribute to the country’s strategy to move away from
high cost fossil fuel powered thermal plants towards low
cost, cleaner hydropower generation

 The cost of electricity generation will be considerably

reduced and foreign exchange will be saved by reducing
fuel imports
