Federal Minister for Water and Power Ch Ahmed Mukhtar has said that 45 wind power projects of around 3200MW capacity are under process that would helpful to eradicate load shedding from the country.
Addressing as chief guest in the launching ceremony of commemorative postal stamp on inauguration of Pakistans first 50MW wind energy project by FFC, he said that among these projects of wind power projects of 106MW are ready for commercial operation, while another 150MW wind projects are under construction.
The next year will see at least 10 more projects, an investment of over 2 billion dollars, he added.

He said I feel exalted that many more wind power projects are in pipeline and would commence their commercial operations one after another in the coming months.
Ahmed Mukhtar said today, we are celebrating launch of the First Wind Farm in Pakistan, together with our partners in the achievement and I am glad that the Pakistan Post is also with us in celebrating a landmark in our energy sector.
