An agreement has been signed between the Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development to provide a loan of KWD7.5 million (US$24 million) for financing of the 800 MW Mohmand Dam hydropower project.

The project consists of construction of a hydropower scheme on the Swat River in the northeast of Pakistan. It comprises a concrete-faced rockfill dam with a height of about 213 m and a length of about 718 m, creating a reservoir with a total length of about 56 km, an area of about 24 km2, and a volume of about 1.6 billion m3. The scheme will include a powerhouse with four turbine-generator units with a total installed capacity of about 800 MW, capable of producing about 2,862 GWh a year. The Mohmand project will include flood protection, irrigation infrastructure and an intake for future drinking water facilities. The project also includes consultancy and project management services. The project is expected to be completed by Dec. 31, 2025.
