April 09, 2019

Neelum Jhelum Hydropower Project achieved yet another landmark, as electricity generation from the project crossed 1000 megawatt (MW) mark today (Tuesday).

According to a statement of WAPDA, Neelum Jhelum Hydropower Project generated up to 1040 MW beyond its installed generation capacity of 969 MW, which reflected the efficiency standards of the power plant.

Meanwhile, WAPDA Chairman Muzammil Hussain has congratulated the Neelum Jhelum Hydropower Project authorities and the engineers on this professional high mark of efficiency.                               

Since its commissioning in April 2018, NJHP has so far injected over 2.35 billion units (kWh) into the National Grid. These days, the project is providing more than 20 million units per day.

The annual energy production from Neelum Jhelum Hydropower Project is expected to achieve planned 4.6 billion units during this year.
