Electricity Via Windfarming in Sindh Attracts Foreign Firms

via au.biz.yahoo.com

Twenty foreign and local companies have shown interest in a windfarm project in Sindh (province of Pakistan). Initially, Mirpur Sakro and Keti Bandar had been marked the best for this purpose. This project would be further expanded by installation of more windpower generators on the coastal belt – onshore and offshore. The electricity produced through this source would either be injected into national grid to supplement the thermal and hydel generation in the country or to sell individual purchasers like KESC, Hesco and Wapda.
