Neelum Jhelum Hydropower Project
Neelum Jhelum Hydroelectric Project is located in the vicinity Muzaffarabad (AJ&K). It envisages the diversion of Neelum river water through a tunnel out -falling into Jhelum river. The intake Neelum Jhelum is at Nauseri 41 Km East of Muzaffarabad. The Powerhouse will be constructed at Chatter Kalas, 22 Km South of Muzaffarabad. After passing through the turbines the water will be released into Jhelum River about 4 Km South of Chatter Kalas. Neelum Jhelum Hydroelectric Project has installed capacity of 969 MW. The Project will produce 5.15 Billion units of electricity annually.
A Composite Dam (Gravity + Rock fill) 160 m long and 60 m high will be constructed on Neelum River at Nausert. It is a Gated Diversion Dam. The dam will create a head pond of 10 million cubic meters which will allow a peaking reservoir of 3.8 million cubic meters to meet daily peaking of power for more than 4 hours. A six gate tunnel intake structure of 280 cumecs capacity will bge3 connected with three conventional flushing surface basins installed at their end for taking sediment back into river.

PRESENT STATUS / PROGRESS

Feasibility report has been submitted by the Consultants on 31 March 2009.
Draft detailed design report and Tender Documents of different lots have been submitted by the Consultants, which are under review by different quarters.
Suspended sediment samples at Gainji Bridge, Kachura Alam Bridge and Bunji Bridge have been collected and analyzed by ISRIP, WAPDA, as recommended by POE Upto September 2011.
Drilling in dam and powerhouse areas at new structure location is in progress by DID, WAPDA, Lahore. Upto date 11614.2m drilling has been completed against 13610.0m. Installation of Piezometers and inclonometers in some of the boreholes at shengua area is in progress.
Model studies for four models: Sectional Model of spillway, Comprehensive Model of Dam Area,, low and Mid Level outlet and Tailrace outlet models have been constructed. All tests proposed by Consultants and POE have been performed and presently no further tests are foreseen.
4 No. Exploratory Adits at dam area have been completed and preparation for performing plate load tests by CMTL WAPDA is in progress.
Exploratory Adit to Fault Zone (Package-2) as recommended by POE would be taken up as advance Package to main construction contract and its cost would be covered in the PC-I.
The work for excavation of Exploratory Adit for under ground Power house (Package-3) has been awarded to M/s High Technology Engineering Company, Islamabad. Contract agreement has been signed on 07.07.2011. Contractor has mobilized on site and excavation work is in progress.
The work for excavation of Exploratory Adit for power shaft (Package-4) has been awarded through retendering process to M/s High Technology Engineering Company, Islamabad. Contract Agreement has been signed on 16.11.2011. Contractor has been mobilized and preliminary works for construction of Adit to surge area is in Progress.
Bunji Consultants (JV) is to complete the design report, preparation of tender documents and PC-I considering the completed and ongoing investigations upto September 30, 2012.

It is still not completed Completion date was August 2010 But It was put on Hold due to delayed reports by companies and lack of intrest from govt.Investigetions are taking place and reports will be presented upto September 30, 2012, Then work will start after arangement of funds.


Construction of Diamer BASHA DAM
The counstruction work is very slow, it depends on funding WAPDA WAS promised RS 20Bn for project in late 2011 but transfer of funds has been the issue, World Bank was also contacted for funding.

US releases $280m for Mangla, Tangi dam uplift
101206101251371.jpg

ISLAMABAD: In its bid to ease Pakistan’s energy crisis, the US Congress has released $280 million in new US assistance to support Pakistan’s energy sector. The funds will support improvements in the Mangla Dam and infrastructure support and due diligence work on the Kurram Tangi Dam project.
Talking to PPI on Friday, US Embassy Spokesperson Mark Stroh said that the $280 million fund has no link with the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) recently inked between Pakistan and the US for resumption of Nato supply to US-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) stationed in Afghanistan.
He said that it was pre-planned and negotiations have already been afoot since long for the release of the much-needed fund, adding that the US has much concern about the people of Pakistan who are experiencing up to 20-hours power outages daily.
Stroh went on saying that the US was happy over the release of the fund, as it would help in mitigating the woes of the people of Pakistan.
“Relieving Pakistan’s energy crisis is top priority for our civilian assistance program,” he said and added that the US approach consists of high-impact projects aimed at increasing Pakistan’s energy resources and helping power sector institutions more effectively to meet the country’s energy needs.
Ongoing projects supported by the United States include uplift of the Gomal Zam Dam, which will generate 17.4 megawatts of hydroelectric power; the Satpara Dam, which will provide 17.7 megawatts of power to a local grid; the Muzzafargarh Power Station, which will increase the generation capacity of the power station by 475 megawatts; the Jamshoro Power Station project, which will enable the station to restore at least 150 megawatts of power generation capacity; and the Tarbela Dam modernisation project, which will add 128 megawatts in power generation capacity.
