Renovation Of The Warsak Hydroelectric Power Plant

ongoing

Co-financed by the European Union, the European Investment Bank and KfW, the renovation project for the 2400 MW Warsak hydroelectric power station, which produces nearly 1,000 GWh/year, is helping solve the energy crisis by enabling the Government of Pakistan to maintain a production capacity that is both inexpensive and non-emissive. Located in Northwest Pakistan on the Kabul River, the dam was built in the 1960s but is now suffering from dilapidated electromechanical equipment that has been heavily eroded and the siltation of the reservoir. To meet these challenges, the project includes three actions:Rehabilitation work to secure the intake and renew all the electromechanical equipmentUpgrading the maintenance workshopSupport measures for flood management and to fight against sedimentation.
