| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The provincial government of KPK plans to develop 21 run-of-the river hydropower plants (HPP) with feasibility study for most of them already completed, with a total potential of 3,600 MW over a period of 10 years with key focus on attracting IPPs. The investment program is structured to facilitate investments in the development of hydropower plants by utilizing both public and private sector investments and leveraging ADB funds through syndication and other financial structures. ADB catalytic financing in the long-term will support and create a business-friendly environment making HPP projects bankable for the private sector to mobilize and invest through debt or equity. | ||||||||||||
