Wind Farm Project
Emission Reduction from Grid Connected 49.5MW Wind Power Plant.
PROJECT GOALS
Emission Reduction from Grid Connected 49.5MW Wind Power Plant.
Tenaga Generasi Limited invested in a new wind power plant to generate renewable electricity to feed into the Pakistani grid. The use of wind power for electricity generation saves greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to the conventional generation mix in Pakistan.
The 49.5 MW wind farm provides 126 GWh of electricity per year – a yearly saving of 80,000 tons of CO2. The project is located at Deh Khuttikun,Taluka Mirpur Sakro, District Thatta, Sindh, Pakistan.
PROJECT BENEFITS & SDGS
The Project Will Serve to:
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Help in stimulating the growth of the wind power industry in Pakistan.
Create local employment during the construction and operation phase.
Reduce other pollutants resulting from the Pakistani power generation industry.
Reduce the increasing energy deficit in Pakistan and differentiate the electricity generation mix and reduce import dependency.
Tons of CO2 saved annually
Project Challenge
Challenge
The objective of the project is to generate renewable electricity using wind energy and supply of the electricity generated to the National Transmission & Dispatch Company (NTDC) of Pakistan. The electricity generated by the project will thus displace the equivalent amount of electricity generated by operation of existing grid connected power plants and by addition of new generation sources to the grid.
Project Actions
Actions Taken
Tenaga Generasi Limited invested in a new wind power plant to generate renewable electricity to feed into the Pakistani grid. The use of wind power for electricity generation saves greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to the conventional generation mix in Pakistan.
The building of this project: Stimulates and commercializes the use of grid connected renewable energy technologies and markets in Pakistan, increases Pakistan`s independence from energy imports, and demonstrates the viability of grid connected wind farms which can support improved energy security, improved air quality, alternative sustainable energy futures, improved local livelihoods and sustainable renewable energy industry development.
Project Results
Results
The 49.5 MW wind farm provides 126 GWh of electricity per year – a yearly saving of 80,000 tons of CO2.
This wind power project replaces the consumption of fossil fuels and thereby contributes to the conservation of water, soil, flora and fauna. It provides the future generations energy coming from renewable resources, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions occurring from extraction, processing, transportation and burning of fossil fuels.
Accelerates the growth of the wind power industry and thereby encourages other entrepreneurs to invest in wind power generation and reduces the import dependency especially on natural gas.
