ISLAMABAD - In a significant development towards the implementation of the Dasu Hydropower Project (DHPP), WAP DA yesterday announced that the stage-1 of the concrete-starter dam has been completed upstream of the main dam site. According to the project design, the Starter Dam for DHPP is divided into two stages. Following the high flow season in October this year, the construction of Stage-2 of the Starter Dam will commence and is expected to be completed during the upcoming low-flow season. Additionally, some of the river water is overtopping the concrete Starter Dam as per design. Once both stages are completed, Dasu will become Pakistan’s highest annual energy generation project.
