The Neelum Jhelum Hydroelectric Project, located near Muzaffarabad in the state of Azad Jammu and Kashmir in northeastern Pakistan, was developed by the Water & Power Development Authority (WAPDA) of Pakistan and has operated since 2018. The project utilizes a gross head of 430 meters by diverting water from the Neelum River using a dam and intake works at Nauseri to the lower branch of the Jhelum River through a 29-km-long tunnel system and underground powerhouse complex with installed generating capacity of 969 MW.
