The underground power station output will be 969 MW corresponding to a designed maximum discharge of 280 m3/s. The project will yield an average annual energy generation of 5254 GWh. The project is the first underground hydropower project of its kind in Pakistan and is located in difficult ground conditions of up to almost 2000 m rock cover.
