Pakistan has the capability to create about 150,000MW of wind energy, according to a recent US Agency for International Development (USAID) study, which may result in a two-billion-dollar investment. Solar and wind energy have the potential to generate 143,000MW across the country, according to government estimates.
The country is currently constructing wind generating plants in Sindh’s Jhimpir, Gharo, Keti Bandar, and Bin Qasim, which will help the country reduce its reliance on oil imports, which cost the government about $12 billion a year.
In most parts of the world, the fair category for wind speed is between 6.2 and 6.9 metres per second. The wind speed in the Sindh corridor, on the other hand, is higher, ranging between 7.5 and 7.7 m/s.
Pakistan has the capacity to create 3.2 million MW from renewable energy resources, according to a research. Wind generates 340,000MW, solar generates 2.9 million MW, hydro generates 50,000MW (big), hydro generates 3,100MW (small), bagasse cogeneration generates 1,800MW, and garbage generates 500MW.
