What is the potential for wind energy generation in Pakistan?

The potential for wind energy generation in Pakistan is substantial, as indicated by the Pakistan Alternative and Renewable Energy Policy 2019:

Why should Pakistan invest in wind energy?

By integrating wind energy into the grid, Pakistan reduces its reliance on fossil fuels, enhances energy security, and contributes to a cleaner and more sustainable energy portfolio. Environmental Sustainability: Wind energy projects resonate with Pakistan's commitment to environmental sustainability.

Which is the best wind energy site in Pakistan?

Major Suitable Sites for Wind Energy in Pakistan The Gharo-Keti Bandar Wind Corridor is by far the most significant and well-explored wind energy site in Pakistan. Situated along the coastal areas of Thatta and Jamshoro districts in Sindh, this corridor extends for over 60 kilometers and covers an area of 9,700 square kilometers.

Can wind power be used in Pakistan?

The potential, for the use of alternative technologies, has never been fully explored in Pakistan. Wind power provides opportunity to reduce dependence on imported fossil fuel and at the same time expands the power supply capacity to remote locations where grid expansion is not practical.

Are wind and solar energy a viable renewable resource in Pakistan?

Wind and Solar energies are the possible clean and low cost renewable resources available in the country. The potential, for the use of alternative technologies, has never been fully explored in Pakistan.

Does Pakistan have a good wind resource?

Of course Pakistanis already know this due to the long, hot summers, which until recently were accompanied by regular power cuts due to insufficient supply. Pakistan also has some excellent wind resource potential in the south and west of the country, as highlighted by the Global Wind Atlas.
