Mangla Dam Rehabilitation Project (Pakistan):  Mangla Dam was originally built in 1967 with U.S.~assistance. ~This large dam has served Pakistan well for the last 40 years, providing water for agriculture, flood control, and over 1,000 MW of inexpensive environmentally-friendly hydro-electricity. ~During its service life, water storage capacity was reduced due to silting. To overcome the silting issues, Mangla Dam Raising Project was completed in 2009 by raising the dam height by 30 feet which provided 40 feet increase of head water level and additional storage capacity of 2.88 MAF. ~The GOP now plans to expand the capacity and useful life of the existing power generation equipment, in order to reap the energy benefits of increased water availability. ~Mangla Dam has 10 units which were added from time to time. Units 1 to 6 have already outlived useful lives and direly need to be refurbished/ replaced. The 38 years old units 5 and 6 had repeated faults on the stator, rotor etc. USAID plans to support the GOP in replacement of unit number 5 & 6 and the "Balance of Plant". ~Once these efforts are complete, the generating capacity of Mangla will increase by 90 MW. ~Balance of Plant effort is critical; without it Mangla will be unable to bring the increased MW capacity online. The funding will support the GOP to increase the dam's generation efficiency and useful life by another 20 years. ~USG investments build upon the GOP recent funding of close to $1 billion to increase the water storage capacity of this dam. Objectives for Pakistan: The main objective of the project is to add 90 MW to the national grid through refurbishing and upgrading the power plant. This will improve the reliability and availability of this power plant for the next 25-30 years.
