Boom! Things are changing fast
• What India installed in last 13 years, USA installed only
last year
• Similarly Denmark’s 15 years’ wind installations
exceeded by China’s only last year performance
• Turbines get bigger and bigger. Single turbine capacity
crossed 7 MW
• Large wind farms start appearing on the map:
– 765 MW Horse Hollow Wind Farm, Texas
– 909 MW Shepherd's Flat Wind Farm, Oregon
– 4000 MW T. Boone Wind Farm, Texas
• Wind farming really becomes crop of 21st century 6

 Wind Projects in Pakistan

• GOP decided to introduce renewable energy share in the

overall power mix of the country
• In 2003 Alternative Energy Development Board was
formed to facilitate wind, solar & micro hydel projects
• The Renewable Energy Policy unveiled in December
2006; incentives are mentioned therein
• AEDB issued 97 LOIs so far for wind projects
• 23 investors have been allotted land, 12 in Gharo and 11
in Jhimpir area
