ISLAMABAD: The Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) has signed a contract worth Rs52.5 billion with a joint venture of General Electric Hydro China and Power China Zhongnan Engineering Corporation for electro-mechanical works of the Dasu hydropower project (stage-I).
The contract was signed by Dasu Hydropower Project General Manager and Project Director Anwar ul Haque and GEHC Deputy General Manager Aijun Xu on behalf of their respective sides at a ceremony on Monday.
The ceremony was also attended by French Ambassador Marc Barety, World Bank Country Director Illango Patchamuthu, Chinese and US diplomats, Water Resources Secretary Mohammad Ashraf and WAPDA Chairman (r) Lt Gen Muzammil Hussain.
