Pakistani firm signs deal with Chinese wind turbine producer

A major developer of wind energy in Pakistan, ACT Wind (Pvt) Limited, has signed a contract with Xinjiang Goldwind Science Technology Co., Ltd. to acquire 50MW suite of wind turbine for the Phase II ACT project. The suite is comprised of 20 turbines with each having a capacity of 2.5MW.

It’s the second time the two companies stroke a deal and the first can date back to four years ago when ACT project Phase I of 30MW adopted Goldwind’s wind turbines, which have been in secure and stable operation since then, China Economic Net reported on Friday. ACT project Phase I is first of the many power projects jointly owned and operated by Tapal Group, Akhtar Group and Ismail Industries.

The plant comprises of 20 wind turbines having a combined capacity to generate 30MW of electricity (each having a capacity of 1.5 MW). The project achieved its Commercial Operations Date on 8th October, 2016. The ACT project Phase II is set to be located in Jhimpir, known as “the pathway of wind” in Sindh province. Goldwind was the first Chinese wind turbine producer to enter the Pakistani market in 2013. It has customized high-temperature wind turbine for Pakistan that boasts average availability of over 99% in a long term.

Meanwhile, Goldwind has cultivated local talents with knowledge and skills on operation, maintenance and examination of wind power plant. With an edge in providing products that feature high-adaptability to the environment and stable operation, Goldwind has grown to become a model for local wind power projects.

As it has always been, both Pakistan and Bangladesh import manufactured finished goods from other countries instead of producing their own, and this is what these countries claim is development.

I was expecting IK to stop this fallacy and build many of the mechanical things on Pakistan soil.

it will take decades to build such facilities , till then we have no other choice than getting finished product from china . chinese products are cheaper also .

Everything does not promptly shoots up from the ground level. Developed countries built their industries consistently through centuries. In the case of imports in south asian countries, usually there are illicit relationship between exporters, importers, bureaucrats and ministers.

So, south asian countries are unable to step ahead. The local stakeholders get rich and deposit their money in onshore banks but common people remain unemployed.

So, this cycle must be stopped. It is already 73 years after 1947.

IMHO, you are right about developping own industries, but you are fireing at the wrong targets.
It's not about buying infrastructures from other countries, you have to start somewhere! You can't re-invent everything.
Better to start with heavy investment in education and promote local factories by taking advantage of these new infrastructures like roads and suffient electricity!
Triggered by infrastructure projects like this is just so wrong, no country can/will hold on their infrastructure projects until they can build every single equipment needed by these projects.

Industrial products are not needed to be reinvented because models are always there. Motivation is needed to do works inside a country.

Politicians in South Asia are short-sighted. They import finished products and people are happy to see the bright things. This is no way of development. A country should manufacture its mechanical things, starting from non-complex things. Education is certainly needed. But, the govt should make close contact with the potential mechanical shop-owners and inspire them by giving them contract for small machines. These people must be nurtured.

This is how a group of entrepreneurs are nurtured and a time comes when they become capable to produce more complex machines. Purchasing finished product continuously is no recipe of industrial development.

Odd. Wouldn't Solar plants be a better fit for Pakistan than wind turbine ????

It is like a comparison between orange and apple.
