The Water and Power Development Authority (Wapda) is working on six hydroelectric power projects that, when completed, would increase the current hydroelectric output capacity of 9,443 MW to 11,241 MW of environmentally beneficial electricity.
Officials from Wapda told APP that the total installed capacity of the company’s 24 hydel power stations now stands at 9,443 MW, and the addition of 11,241 MW will raise that capacity to 20,684 MW.
