Alternate Energy Pakistan: US $875m Windpower Project to Provide 30% of Karachi's Needs

A new US$875 million wind power project will provide 30 percent of Karachi's power needs, a state government official has said. Speaking at the inauguration of the Gharo project, adviser to Sindh Chief Minister for Environment and Alternate Energy, Noman Saigol, said it was the first alternate energy project for Sindh.

Sixteen companies from the US, Japan and China are taking part in the project, which will be built on 19,700 acres of government-provided land.

The windpower project, expected to employ 30-40,000 locals, will have a 50MW capacity, rising to as much as 900MW by 2010, he said.

$875 million USD???

Man i hope this price factors in the project's complete construction of said total 900 MWe electrical capacity generation. Not just the measly 50 MWe, first phase?

$875 million for 50 MWe of Wind Turbine generation would be an absolute scandal and rip off worthy of a major league probe.

I seriously hope this price factors in the project's construction of said entire 900 MWe electrical capacity generation -- and not just the measly 50 MWe, first phase.
