A full charter flight is flying executives, government ministers and business men to Goroka, Eastern Highlands Province for the phase 2 launching of the Yonki dam.
Prime Minister Peter O'Neill is expected to launch the project. Foreign envoys including the US Ambassador to PNG Walter North, the Korean Ambassador and the New Zealand High Commissioner are also on the flight.
Preparations at Goroka have been going well to welcome the Prime Minister and the team.
He will be flying into Goroka on the government owned Falcon plane.
It is understood the launching today is part of a 3 phase K2 billion expansion of the Yonki scheme, which provides power for Lae, Madang and most of the Highlands provinces.
