IFC has remained financer and
development partner in hydropower projects in Pakistan. In
this process, IFC has developed a comprehensive approach for
developing sustainable hydropower as a cheaper and cleaner
energy that benefits the environment as well as the
communities in the area. A key part of the approach involves
raising environmental and social standards in hydropower
development through its advisory engagements. Strategy for
Sustainable Hydropower Development in the Jhelum Poonch
River Basin (JPRB) is one such IFC initiative implemented
through a multistakeholder-engagement process to provide
practical guidance for government, developers, and other
stakeholders. The proposed strategy presents key lessons
learned from hydropower projects in the Jhelum-Poonch River
Basin as well as other related basins during construction
and operation. It enhances the knowledge base of the
Jhelum-Poonch Basin and provides recommendations for
hydropower developers and government to implement best
practice in their projects. This helps strike a balance
between conservation and development by minimizing negative
environmental and social impacts from hydropower projects in
the basin. The strategy provides recommendations for
government and regulators on how to improve policy and
regulation to strengthen the hydropower sector. Developers
can make good use of this report to strengthen their
planning, systems, and business operations. |
