102 MW Gulpur Hydropower Plant (GHPP) is an under construction, run-of-the-river hydroelectric generation project located on Poonch River, a major tributary of Jhelum River near Gulpur in Kotli District of Azad Kashmir, Pakistan.
Gulpur Hydropower Project is a part of least-cost energy generation plan, being executed by WAPDA to harness the indigenous hydropower resources of the country. WAPDA awarded the contract to MIRA Power Limited, a subsidiary of Korean company KOSEP, an independent power producer (IPP) being developed in private sector on BOOT basis (Build, Own, Operate and Transfer) under Government of Pakistan Policy for Power Generation Projects
Expected Completion August 2018

Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif will inaugurate power production from Chashma Nuclear Project-III on Wednesday.
According to a press release issued on Tuesday, the 340 megawatt (MW) Nuclear Power Plant is a joint collaboration of Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) and China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC).
This is the third project after the successful Chashma-I and Chashma-II projects.
Chashma-IV Nuclear Power Project is to be completed in 2017. The Karachi Nuclear Power Projects K-2 and K-3 would add 8,800MW electricity to the National Grid by 2030 as Mid-Term target for Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission.
All Nuclear Power Projects, including Chashma-III, have been approved by Pakistan Nuclear Regulatory Authority for Nuclear Safeguards as per International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) agreements, thereby maintaining the highest standards of safety.
The Chashma-III project would be yet another milestone in the Pak-China joint collaborations. The project will provide clean and affordable energy to the people of Pakistan, in line with the present government’s vision to control energy crisis.
The project would also contribute to the overall economic development of the country through energy supply to industrial and commercial sectors.

1,200 megawatts RLNG-fired plant to be set up in Muzaffargarh
The government has decided to establish 1,200 MW RLNG-fired power plant in Muzaffargarh (Punjab) as part of its plan to eliminate power load-shedding in the country by 2018. The project was approved by the PPIB Board headed by Minister for Water and Power, Khawaja Asif, in its 108th meeting held on Friday.
The decision of establishing 1,200 MW RLNG based power project at Muzaffargarh, Punjab was taken in the light of the advice of the Cabinet Committee on Energy (CCoE) in its meeting held on September 15, 2016, wherein Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif lifted ban on RLNG-fired power plants. Federal Government is already setting up two RLNG fired power plants in Punjab near the load centres whereas one similar is being established by the Punjab government.
The sources said, Prime Minister had directed the Ministry of Water and Power to initiate the process of advertisement through PPIB for inviting prospective investors for installation of 1,200 MW RLNG-fired power plants on IPP mode which could fulfil the following requirements: (i) give assurance for single cycle operations of power plant by March 2018; (ii) be able to bring Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) as partners or with given commitment to provide turbines; (iii) be willing to start installation without financial close; and (iv) be able to provide a performance guarantee for meeting timelines other than quality and standards.
On September 15, 2016 Prime Minister had directed the Ministry of Water and Power to review the generation requirement rate due to increase in electricity demand on account of industrial growth and economic activities. Minister for Water and Power, Khawaja Asif said on Friday that the current government believes in the policy of facilitating investors, and does not want them to face any hurdles or delays during the processing of their projects. He further added that in order to make electricity affordable, various short to medium and medium to long term power generation projects based on coal, hydro, RLNG, solar & wind are being established all across the country in private and public sectors.
Managing Director PPIB Shah Jahan Mirza gave a briefing to the Board on the 1,200 MW RLNG-based power project being processed. He stated that the said project will be located at Muzaffargarh near the existing Muzaffargarh Thermal Power Station of NPGCL having gas turbines based combined cycle technology. The power plant will have minimum annual availability of 92 percent. Open Cycle Operation is scheduled to start by February, 2018 whereas the full Combined Cycle Operation will start by end 2018. This is a viable option to address the electricity demand supply gap in early 2018 and ensuring elimination of load shedding by that time. Furthermore, due to the highly efficient and state of the art technology of the plant, this will be able to replace old and retiring power plants in the public sector. He said the RFP document for the project has been prepared and it will be advertised in the coming days, and bids will be invited through single stage, two envelope bidding approach.

Kunhar river is on the left side. Jhelum river is on the right. Tunnels is bored from Kunhar river to Jehlum river.
You can see a small dam and diversion tunnel being constructed on the left side on Kunhar river and power house and tunnel opening on the bank of river Jehlum on the right (near the bridge).
Great use of natural 100m hight difference between Kunhar river and Jehlum river.

Very impressive. Great seeing gravity being used to generate power without submerging land under water like traditional dams.Kunhar river is on the left side. Jhelum river is on the right. Tunnels is bored from Kunhar river to Jehlum river.
