Any update available on the 1,450MW Ghazi Barotha Run-of-River Hydroelectric Project, that was supposed to be built about a 100 miles from Islamabad? " The run-of-river Ghazi Barotha Hydroelectric project is located around 100km from Islamabad, on the Indus River in north west Pakistan. It involved the construction of a partial river diversion at Ghazi, 7km downstream from the Tarbela dam. The barrage diverts water into a 52km concrete-lined channel and delivers it to the 1,450MW powerhouse at Barotha. This is further downstream, near the confluence of the Indus and Haro rivers. In this reach the Indus River drops by 76m within a distance of 63km. After passing through the powerhouse, diverted water is returned to the Indus. In addition to these main works, transmission lines stretch 340km." Is it in operation? It did suck up a lot of money. It would be sad if it could not become operational.
