LAHORE: The 800MW Mohmand Dam Hydropower Project will start cheap and green/clean power generation by 2027, as the project, following diversion of River Swat in August last year, is progressing ahead at a good pace with the construction work on all key sites.

The government had launched construction work on the project in 2019. The project is being completed in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to provide flood mitigation, irrigation water for thousands of acres of land and hydropower generation. The concrete-faced rockfill dam will have a height of 700 feet. It will impound water for a powerhouse with a capacity of 800MW.
