Neelum–Jhelum Hydropower Plant
The Neelum–Jhelum Hydropower Plant is part of an under construction run-of-the-river hydroelectric power scheme designed to divert water from the Neelum River to a power station on the Jhelum River. The power station is located in Azad Kashmir, south of Muzaffarabad and will have an installed capacity of 969 MW. Construction on the project began in 2008 after a Chinese consortium was awarded the construction contract in July 2007. The first generator is scheduled to be commissioned in December 2015 and the entire project is expected to be complete in 2016. Significant delays, funding issues, and the potential impacts of India's Kishanganga Hydroelectric Project upstream have impacted the project's construction and potential long-term power generation.
==Background==
After being approved in 1989, the design was improved, increasing the tunnel length and generation capacity. The project was intended to begin in 2002 and be completed in 2008 but this time-frame experienced significant delays to rising costs and funding.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://waterinfo.net.pk/cms/pdf/njhp.pdf )〕 On 7 July 2007, the Chinese consortium CGGC-CMEC (Gezhouba Group and China National Machinery Import and Export Corporation) were awarded the contract to construct the dam and power station. The construction contract was settled by the end of the year and in January 2008, the letter of commencement was issued. On 8 February, Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf announced that the project would begin.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gzbgj.com/english/article.asp?id=836 )〕 In October 2011, the diversion tunnel intended to divert the Neelum River around the dam site was completed.
On 1 November, Pakistan's Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani publicly stated his concern for the project's delay. At its appraisal in 1989, it was to cost $167 million USD (2011) and after another redesign in 2005, that cost rose to $935 million USD (2011). Currently costs have risen to $2.89 billion USD (2011).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thenews.com.pk/TodaysPrintDetail.aspx?ID=10021&Cat=13 )〕 The project is being constructed under the supervision of the Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) and funding is being achieved through the Neelum Jhelum Hydropower Company, taxes, bond offerings, Middle Eastern and Chinese banks. WAPDA has successfully secured loans from a consortium of Chinese banks and from Middle East. Tunnel-boring machines (TBM) were brought to help speed up the excavation of the remaining tunnels. They became operational in February 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wapda.gov.pk/vision2025/htmls_vision2025/njhp.html )〕 In mid-2014 Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif visited the construction site in mid-2014 and hoped to have at least one generator operational by mid-2015. The project was 66 percent complete as of August 2013 while at the same time the diversion tunnel was 75 percent complete. US$475 million in funding was still not secured by the Economic Affairs Division at that time. On 24 December 2014 a wall near the diversion tunnel's intake collapsed, killing four workers including a Chinese engineer. In January 2015 Minister of State for the Ministry of Water and Power, Abid Sher Ali, stated that that extra funding should be secured and that December 2015 was a feasible target for the first generator to be commissioned. The remainder of the project is scheduled to be complete early, in 2016 instead of the originally planned 2018.〔
