The 147 MW run-of-the-river power plant is the largest privately financed hydro-power development in the country.
The $409m project is financed by Export-Import Bank of Korea, Asian Development Bank and Islamic Development Bank.
Water utility company Korea Water owns 80% of Star Hydro Power, which is delivering the project.
The project is expected to reduce the country’s reliance on imported fuel for power generation, reports pakobserver.net.
