The Pakistani government plans to achieve up to 2500MW by end of year 2015 from wind energy.

Work on Zorlu energy wind power project with 50MW generation capacity is underway in Jhimpir and will start trial production soon. Pakistan’s Alternative Energy Development Board recently approved a New Park Energy Phase-I, 400MW wind project near Port Qasim.
