Darunta Hydropower Plant hydroelectric overview.

Darunta is a hydroelectric plant on the Kabul River near Jalalabad in eastern Afghanistan. Built in the early 1960s, it supplies the local electricity system using three Kaplan generating units. Environmental and dam-safety documents prepared in 2021 describe rehabilitation needs; the associated World Bank programme was subsequently discontinued.In OperationAfghanistan
