The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has allocated Rs8.6 billion for construction of six medium sized hydropower projects in Chitral, having 527 megawatt generation capacity.
A source in PEDO told the media that a Chinese construction company had already entered into an agreement with the government for building Shoghor-Seen hydropower project.
The hydropower generation potential could only be exploited by attracting foreign investment as the government lacked the required financial resources build the project..
