Community Wind Development Handbook

This Handbook is designed to give developers of “wholesale” community wind projects practical knowledge of what to expect when developing commercial-scale community wind energy projects in the range of 2 to 50 Megawatts (MW). These wind projects are designed for bulk power generation for sale to a utility company or large electricity user and can supply enough energy to serve several hundred to thousands of homes. Typically, planning and developing a wholesale community wind project takes several years, working with a dedicated team of professionals that have expertise in business and finance, easements, power purchase agreements, engineering, construction and project management, and experience in the utility sector as well as other aspects of the wind industry.

Policy for Development of Renewable Energy for Power Generation - Employing Small Hydro, Wind, and Solar Technologies

With a large population of over 150 million and a rapidly developing economy, Pakistan’s energy needs are potentially huge. The country, historically a net energy importer, is confronting serious imminent energy shortages as its economy and population grow while global fossil fuel prices continue their upwards spiral. Thus, Pakistan needs to initiate a sustained, long-term transition towards greater use of renewable energy (RE)—an indigenous, clean, and abundant resource whose considerable potential the country has yet to tap meaningfully. The Government of Pakistan (GoP) intends to pursue this objective of harnessing power from renewable resources with the full participation and collaboration of the private sector.
