January 05, 2024 (MLN): The Neelum Jhelum hydel power station will cease electricity generation from January 10, 2024, during the current low-flow season for the inspection of its 3.5-kilometer-long tailrace tunnel.

The low water flows in the rivers during the low-flow season are deemed ideal for the inspection of hydel power stations.

Consequently, inspections of numerous hydel power stations are carried out during this period.

Neelum Jhelum is a run-of-the-river hydropower project, that started electricity generation in April 2018.

It envisages the diversion of Neelum River through a system of tunnels having out fall into Jhelum River.

Neelum Jhelum Hydropower Project has been constructed in a very difficult mountainous terrain, while 90% of the project is underground.

The project consists of a dam, 51.7-Km long underground water way system comprising of 48.2-Km headrace tunnel and 3.5-Km tailrace tunnel, an underground power house, and a switch yard.

The project has an installed generation capacity of 969 MW with four generating units of 242.25 MW each.
