DIAMER BASHA DAM PROJECT Diamer Basha Dam Project the first mega dam project conceived after Tarbela Dam Project at a cost of US$ 11.178 billion will play significant role in the economic development of Pakistan. The project is located on Indus River, about 315 km upstream of Tarbela Dam, 165 km downstream of the Gilgit- Baltistan (GB) capital Gilgit and 40 km downstream of Chilas. The proposed dam would have a maximum height of 272 meters, and impound a reservoir of about 8.1million acre feet (MAF), with live storage of more than 6.4 MAF and produce 4500 MW of power generation. The mean annual discharge of Indus River at the site is 50 MAF. Thus the dam will impound 15% of the annual river flow. It will extend the life of Tarbela Reservoir by blocking the sediments and additional annual Generation at Tarbela would be 1111GWh. With the creation of massive infrastructure leading to overall socioeconomic uplift of the area and better standard of living of people, this project will generate employment opportunities, particularly to the locals, during the construction and operation. The dam is located at the boundary of Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) and North Western Frontier Province (NWFP) in such a way that the right abutment and the right Power House is in GB while the left bank of the dam and the left Power House is in NWFP. ECNEC has approved this project at a cost of Rs.894,257 million (US$ 11.178 billion). The Project will pay back its cost in 8 years with an EIRR of 18%. WAPDA carried out the feasibility of Diamer Basha Dam Project from 2002 to 2004 and Detailed Engineering Design from 2005 to 2008. during this period field investigations comprising of Drilling, Aditing, Field Testing & Topographic Survey also carried out. WAPD spent US$ 58.734 million on these works including Consultancy charges, Admn & other expenses. WAPDA started the Land Acquisition process in 2010-11. an amount of US$ 25 million has been paid to Government of Gilgit-Baltistan for Land Acquisition. The priority land for project colony infrastructure and Land for one model village for the affectees has been acquired. The acquisition of Land for Dam foot prints, other structures and the reservoir is in progress. The required land would be acquired in three years with an estimated cost of US$ 513.37 million. WAPDA intends to start the construction of infrastructure; WAPDA Offices, Consultants Office WAPDA Colony roads etc. Model Villages, Right Bank Periphery road and relocation of KKH in project area before the start of the main project which shall require US$ 461 million. Construction of small Hydropower Stations on Nullahs for providing power during construction of Main Dam and project colony / model villages shall require funding of tune of US$ 43.925 million. Implementation of the Diamer Basha Dam appurtenant structures shall be through international competitive bidding comprising of the five lots. Funding requirement for these lots are US$ 5,027 million. PROJECT BENEFITS • Availability of about 6.4 MAF annual surface water storage for supplementing irrigation supplies during low flow periods • Harnessing of renewable source of clean and cheap energy through installed capacity of 4500 MW • Average Annual Generation 19208 GWh • Extend Life of Tarbela reservoir by blocking the sediments • Additional Annual Generation at Tarbela 1111GWh • Reduction of dependence on thermal power, thus saving foreign exchange • Employment opportunities (direct employment = 70,426 persons & indirect employment = 2.78 million persons), particularly to the locals during the construction and operation 7633 worker to be trained. • Creation of massive infrastructure leading to overall socio-economic uplift of the area and standard of living of people • The Project will pay back its cost in 8 years FINANCIAL BENEFITS • Financial Benefits of electricity produced – US$ 1.9 Billion (19 Billion units x 10 cents) • Financial Benefits of water stored – US$ 0.660 Billion • Water impounded by reservoir shall help to mitigate downstream flood losses. The avoidance of flood damages cost would be even much more than Rs.2, 331 million per annum. • Savings in Foreign Exchange of Equivalent electricity on imported oil - US$ 2.85 Billion • Carbon Credit Benefits – US$ 0.300 Billion 16
