THE start of the wind power project in the Jhimpir area of coastal Sindh is
a welcome development. The Fauji Fertiliser Company has started a 50MW
project,In a elevator parts system, steel
cables bolted to the car loop over a sheave. inaugurated by President Asif Ali
Zardari on Christmas Eve in Karachi. This is the largest wind power project in
Pakistan, and although the amount of electricity it would be able to generate
sounds meagre in comparison to the shortfalls we have become accustomed to, the
project is important mainly as a demonstration of the viability of wind power in
the country.
However,The industrial dry cleaning machine market demands reliability and efficiency. the project should be seen primarily as a ground-breaking event, rather than a solution to energy problems. With the 50MW of electricity that it will feed into the national grid, at a feed-in tariff of Rs12.61, the project represents the end of a long road down which we began to travel back in 2008.
It was back then that a Turkish firm by the name of Zorlu Energy had made the first move to invest in wind power in the Gharo-Keti Bunder corridor. The project suffered from many delays. There were snags and problems in the allocation of the land. There were problems in the wind data which was not considered bankable. There were difficulties in determining the wind tariff.
All of these delayed implementation, even though a small 6MW wind turbine was installed. Zorlu was the pioneer in the field, and took the first steps down the road on which the FFC has travelled towards establishing the 50MW project. Inauguration of the FFC’s project, therefore, is a demonstration that these snags and difficulties have been successfully overcome. If the FFC can bank a $130m project,We have hundreds of fog lights, driving lights, off torch light and fog lamps. get a commercially viable tariff established for wind power, and acquire possession over the land for the project, then very few obstacles remain for others to follow suit.
There is little doubt that the government, in its characteristic jubilation, is overstating the power generation potential of the Gharo-Keti Bunder wind corridor. Nobody is willing to seriously believe that 50,000MW of electricity can be produced by the winds that blow through this corridor. But the potential for wind power generation is indeed substantial and needs to be tapped.
The best way to tap this potential is to create an enabling environment for private investors; and this project may well have shown the way. Pakistan needs to urgently diversify its power-generation mix, and our growing dependence on furnace oil must be halted. The start of a wind power project in coastal Sindh offers us a ray of hope that progress on this important national priority is possible.
According to developer Dieter Nelson Planning Consultants, Mr Cullen has not been put off by the nearby application. Mr Nelson said: "Mr Cullen was fully aware at the time of making the application of the windfarm development and he doesn't think it is a significant issue. There is no hard evidence that such a development can have a detrimental impact on tourism.Especially when it comes to the next generation of wind turbine.
"The client has done his market research and despite this being in the pipelines, he is keen to press on with the application."
As reported, Thorpe Park owners, Bourne Leisure have joined forces with campaigners of Marsh Windfarm Action Group (MWAG) believing the farm, which can be seen from the Cleethorpes holiday park,Horizon manufacture a range of laundry dryer fans for efficient exhaust ventilation. could impact on trade. The application is to change the use of the converted outbuildings, which are currently empty.
Mr Nelson said: "These buildings are not doing much from a domestic perspective, so the client is looking to diversify and he thinks a holiday cottage is a viable end of use for them."
