LAHORE: The National Transmission and Dispatch Company Limited (NTDCL) has connected the fourth wind power plant with national grid after linking three others.
The NTDCL connected the 50MW wind power plant by constructing 9.5 Km 132 kV double circuit transmission line in sea area of Gharo Wind Cluster.
According to the company’s spokesperson, the earlier connected power plants are established in Jhimpir i.e 56.2 MW Zorlu Wind Power (Turkey), 50 MW Fauji Fertilizer Company Energy Limited (FFCEL), 50 MW Three Gorges First Wind Power Plant China (TGF) and fourth one (Sapphire) was in its completion stage, whereas Foundation Wind Energy Limited (FWEL-II) 50 MW had already been added to the system in December 2014.
The spokesman further said that government is committed to mitigate load shedding and to promote green energy free of fuel and pollution with no affect on the environment. Investors are being facilitated in terms of timely completion of transmission lines network both in Gharo and Jhimpir windy locations hence wind turbines offer a ray of hope in power gloom.
