Tarbela Dam is one of the world's largest earth and rock-filled Dam and the greatest water resources development project. The Construction of Tarbela Dam started in 1968 and ended in 1976. With the passage of time, the extension of generating units/Powerhouse occurred.

After 4 extensions, Tarbela 5th Extension project (1530MW) will start this month (August 2021). The T5 is one of the 10 mega projects WAPDA is implementing to double the existing hydel generation with the addition of more than 9,000MW to the national grid in just eight years from 2022 to 2028/29 in a phased manner.
T5 project is being constructed on Tunnel No 5 of Tarbela Dam with an approved PC-I of $807 million. The World Bank is providing $390 million, while the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is providing $300 million.

The cumulative generation capacity of the T5 project stands at 1,530MW with three generating units of 510MW each. The project, scheduled to commence electricity generation by mid-2024, will provide 1.347 billion units of low-cost hydel electricity on an average/annum to the national grid.
