Deals for 11 Wind power projects signed which have capacity of 560 MW

These projects will provide more than 1.8 billion units of clean energy annually

The Alternative Energy Development Board (AEDB) has signed implementation agreements for 11 wind power projects keeping in view the government’s vision of an increase in the share of renewable energy to at least 30% by the year 2030.

“Cumulative capacity of the 11 wind power projects is 560 MW and these projects will provide more than 1.8 billion units of clean energy annually,” said a statement issued on Tuesday.

An investment of around $700 million will be brought to Pakistan as soon as these independent power projects achieve financial close in the coming weeks. The projects are envisaged to come online by 2021.

No matter how much green energy you have (solar, hydro and wind). You will always need to supplement a big chunk of it (upwards of 50%) with nonrenewable sources such as nuclear and thermal, because the renewable sources severely lack in reliability and consistency of electricity supply.


If 100% of your energy is coming from solar, and your country experiences a week of cloudy days, are you going to light lanterns and burn wood to run stoves?

Solar + Wind + Water + Nuclear = all green energies.

worst case: Sun takes a week off, coastal area get 0 wind for week, there is no water in the Dams and someone stole our nuclear fuel....we are ****ed
