The Dasu Dam is a proposed gravity dam on the Indus River near Dasu in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province Pakistan. The 242 m (794 ft) tall dam will support a 4320 MW hydroelectric power station which will be built in two 2160 MW stages. Water from the reservoir will be diverted to the power station located about 3.5 km (2.2 mi) downstream. The first stage was approved by the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council on 29 March 2014. That stage will cost an estimated US$4.278 billion.
