The Mohmand hydroelectric project, located in Pakistan's northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, involves building a dam on the Swat River and installing four generators, said state-owned CGGC.
The consortium includes CGGC and Descon of Pakistan, with stakes of 70% and 30% respectively.
The project is designed to help protect local areas from floods, irrigate large areas of farmland, produce 2.86 billion kilowatt hours of electricity a year and provide local residents with 140 million cubic meters of drinking water per year.
Completion of the project is expected to take about 70 months. Â
