One of the hydro projects is scheduled to be developed on Nara Canal while the other on Rohri Canal.
Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) co-chairman and former president Asif Ali Zardari told Pakistan Today that the 15MW Nara hydro power project will be developed with an investment of $47.6m at RD-26 of Nara Canal.
Capable of generating 9MW of electricity, the Rohri hydro power project will be developed with an investment $36.4m at RD-15 of Rohri Canal.
Zardari said: "Once these both the projects become operational it would create great impact on local economy.
Additionally, Pakistan is planning to install another mega project of 40MW hydro power project at Guddu Barrage.
The Dawn cited Zardari as saying: "Although the two hydro power projects are small, they will certainly contribute significantly to the mitigation of electricity woes of Sindh people and help overcome the crisis that has gripped the entire country."
