Austria has offered financial and technical help for the Tarbela Dam extension project.
Austria, on Monday, pledged its help in dealing with the energy crisis. Tarbela runs fourteen generating units at the moment. The current project will add another two to the line up.
This is the fourth extension to the Tarbela Dam since it's completion, which should generate an extra 1,000 mega watts of power in addition to the 3,500 mega watts already generated.
Water and Power Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf said the project should help bring badly needed foreign investment to Pakistan
