Summary

Before
Estimated buildout target through 2030
Early 2028 electricity generation. WAPDA’s current Mohmand project page targets electricity generation in early 2028. The whole multipurpose-dam investment includes non-power water infrastructure. The timeline uses a year-level marker; it does not claim a specific early-2028 commissioning day.
Construction is verified; the completion date remains an estimate. The timeline marker represents the published target year/month, not a confirmed opening day.
Published cost and electrical output
Project cost / investmentAbout USD 2.2496 billionCost scopeFinancier-published full multipurpose-project cost; includes non-power water infrastructureCost source dateSource page undated; checked 2026-10-11Electrical generating capacity800 MW — Operator-reported electric generating capacity; not annual energy productionVerified project stageUnder construction
Project-specific research
The OPEC Fund’s project record publishes total project cost US$2,249.60 million. It covers the multipurpose dam programme, including water supply, irrigation and flood-control works, not just the power station. The Fund’s loan is not used as project cost.

Mohmand multipurpose dam and hydropower project: 800 MW generating project rating. Operator-reported electric generating capacity; not annual energy production
WAPDA’s current project page identifies 800 MW installed design capacity, ongoing construction, river diversion November 2024, dam impounding targeted late 2026 and electricity generation early 2028. Targets are not completion claims.
WAPDA January 19, 2026 reports construction continuing on ten key sites.
Scope and evidence
Retained only with documented physical construction, commissioning or 2025–2026 opening and published project-specific costs and electrical output. Costs use the published scope and currency; no benchmark estimates or currency conversions. MW is power capacity, not annual electricity production. Expected annual energy, where given, is a forecast. The map point is a reported plant/project location and may be approximate. Matching inventory views and excluded expansion proposals are not additive capacity.

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
