Newspaper, Muzaffarabad, Pakistan, April 13 (Reporter Ding Xuezhen)

The first unit of Pakistan’s largest power plant project, Neelum- Jhelum Hydropower Station, built by Chinese company, was connected to the grid for power generation. The Pakistani prime minister, Abramovich, attended the power generation ceremony and pressed the unit start button, marking that the project was officially put into commercial operation. A total of more than 600 officials from relevant ministries and commissions and various sectors of society attended the event.

In his speech, Abraham thanked the Chinese builders for their efforts and eventually turned this "impossible mission" into a reality. He said that the Neelum- Jhelum hydropower project is another important achievement of cooperation between Pakistan and China. The completion of the project will help Pakistan overcome the power shortage problem that has long plagued the country and further promote economic and social development in Pakistan.

Can Three Gorges Corporation work with pakistan to build basha dam as well ? It is a need of time.
@AZADPAKISTAN2009

There are exactly 209,970,000 problems with Basha being built. Can we solve them first?

And what are those problem may you highlight some of them . But before you post your reply read my full comment.. And then also tell me what do you think that india and china never faced problems while building dams?

Pakistan has an installed electricity generation capacity of 25,100 MW in 2017. The average demand is 22,000 MW and the shortfall was between 5,000 and 6,000 MW. Oil (35.2 per cent), hydel (29.9 per cent), gas (29 per cent), and nuclear, solar and imported (6 per cent) are the principal sources.
The Pakistan industries are getting max 22 rupies per unit and max 16 rupies per unit for homes. What does it mean that forget about the regional industrail compitition becuse current Govt of pakistan does not prefer hydel and cheap electricity even KPK is ready to transfer almost 350MW hydel to mainstream but fedreral Govt has been denying it for long time and busy for getting kickbacks to import LNG and Oil even for electricity too.

Now understand why loadshedding cant still be eradicated in my motherland

Pakistan electricity system depands on oil and gas specially during summar.
And right now pakistan circular debt is 1000 Arab Rupess which pakistan has to pay back to oil and gas industries those are now asking the payment from electricity industries of pakistan KESC, wapda and from 42 independent power producers (IPPs) that contribute significantly in electricity generation in Pakistan. So that Oil and gass industries would provide Oil and gas to the electricity industries of pakistan if pakistan govt pay back the circular debt.

• Well the Question should be asked that why our electricity industries and IPPs are unable to pay back although there is no subsidy for electicity by the Govt now? Simple they all are involved in corruption and money lundering and they are one of the biggest source of lossing arround 10 billions dollor yearly of pakistan.

Now what is the solution?
As we know KSA and iran economy mostly based on Oil However pakistan and india economy based on Water.. Believe me there is no solution until unless pakistan does not build the dams. Nearly 3500 major / medium dams and barrages had been constructed in India by the year 2018.
And almost 7 thousands dams in china too.

If pakistan does not emphasize on water based economy that means pakistan cant be a more productive in aggriculture, industries etc anymore.

Any truth in this?

Chinese firm abandons Neelum-Jhelum hydropower project in Pakistan

The hydropower project worth Rs 508 billion saw a sudden halt within three years of its operation, exposing serious differences between Pakistand Chinese authorities over joint projects, particularly the Dasu and Mohmand power projects besides the Neelum-Jhelum plant, Islam Khabar reported.
