ISLAMABAD, (lubna): Orient Energy Systems, a local renewable solutions company announced completion of erection and installation of a total 38.4 MWs of
wind power plants, comprising 8 Goldwind turbines of 4.8 megawatts capacity each.
The development, powered by China’s prominent manufacturer, Goldwind, showcases wind power as another source of clean, green and low-cost energy for captive power market in the country’s Southern port and industrial city of Karachi.
Six of the 8 turbines were installed at Lucky Cement Ltd., Karachi while two of the turbines were installed at Yunus Textile Mills, Karachi, Gwadar Pro reported.
The Goldwind turbine, boasting an impressive hub height of 110 meters, is the largest wind turbine ever installed in the country, Orient Energy earlier said.
