Jabban (Malakand-I) Hydropower Plant (MHPP-I) is a small, low-head, run-of-the-river hydroelectric power generation station having 22 megawatt generation capacity (four units of 5.5 MW each) located at the Jabban area of the Malakand District in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.
It is a small hydel power generating plant constructed and put in commercial operation in July, 1938, generating an average annual yield of 122 million units (GWh) of least expensive electricity.
The 70-year-old power house was badly damaged due to a fire incident on 11 December 2006.
The situation necessitated to carry out rehabilitation of Jabban Hydroelectric Power Station on "fast track basis" by installing new machines of higher efficiency at the same site.
The rehabilitation of the hydropower station was completed in 2013 with a total cost of Rs3.8 billion by the contractor HRL-CCPG JV (Habib Rafique Ltd. (Pakistan) & Central China Power Group China).
