First the NJHPP, then T5 got destroyed during flooding sending the per unit cost multiple times, now again the exact same thing without flood. Bastards!

Tarbela T5 extension cost already shot up to Rs320bn for just 1.5 billion/kwh annual generation. Can we stop building dams for electricity already? Dams should only be build for water storage from now on.

Yes, it’s not viable anymore. Hundreds of millions of dollars sunk.

Silver lining: No human casualties.

Lost money can be recovered, lives lost cannot.

Good news if true:

Indeed, it wasn't a dam break

 

[Starlord]

I hope the people who are working on this project take this as a warning from Allah, do not take the dam construction lightly or do jugado work, we got lucky that no human lives were lost, a dam break can be disasterous.

Yes, it never was the feat. The feat was damage to the tunnel and powerhouse being built for T5 like the incident that happened during the floods. That would have escalated the cost to unbearable level.
