Pakal Dul HE Project (1,000 MW) is under active construction after river diversion was carried out. The project will generate 3230 MW annually and si expected to be completed by July 2025, the spokesman said.

He said Kiru HE Project (624 MW) is also under construction. The river diversion was carried out recently and after completion it will generate 2272 MW annually. The project is expected to be completed by July 2025.
