The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has successfully completed three hydropower projects with a combined generation capacity of 63 megawatts (MW), a development expected to generate around Rs4.4 billion annually for the province.
Secretary Energy and Power Nisar Ahmed shared the update while chairing a progress review meeting at the Pakhtunkhwa Energy Development Organization (PEDO) House, focusing on seven major ongoing hydropower schemes. During the meeting, PEDO Chief Executive Officer Habibullah Shah briefed participants that the completed projects include 40.8MW Koto Dir, 11.8MW Karora Shangla and 10.2MW Jabori in Mansehra.
