FFC Energy Limited (FFCEL) has developed Pakistan's first 50-Megawatt wind power project at Jhimpir, District Thatta, in Sindh. Established with an investment of 134 million dollars, the grid interconnection facilities for this project were energised on October 30, whereby the wind farm is now connected with the national grid.
This major milestone was achieved by the co-ordinated efforts of CPPA/NTDC, Hesco & FFCEL. The project is thus ready to play a revolutionary role in strengthening Pakistan's wind-power sector. Brigadier Tariq Izaz (Retd), Project Director, said, "All 33 individual Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) and ultimately the commissioning of the whole wind farm is planned to commence from November 7, and FFCEL expects to begin commercial operations by mid-December. However, FFCEL will endeavour for early completion of WTG commissioning activities, ahead of above schedule, by deploying more resources, wherever possible."-PR
