The HydroChina Dawood Wind Power Project is a wind farm which was developed as part of the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor's Early Harvest energy projects on 1,720 acres of tidal flats is located in Gharo, Sindh – approximately 80 kilometers east of Karachi. [1] It is being developed by the Chinese firm HydroChina, [2] and is expected to provide electricity to the Pakistani grid by August 2016. [2]
The plant will produce approximately 50 megawatts of electricity upon completion, and will consist of 33 wind turbines each capable of generating 1.5 MW of electricity. [3] Turbines will be sourced from China Ming Yang Wind Power Group Limited [4] and were jointly developed with the German firm aerodyn. [5] [3]
Construction began in 2015, and the last turbine was installed on April 23, 2016. [6] Electric generation is expected to commence in August 2016, [6] It is expected that energy provided by the farm will be sufficient to provide electricity to some 100,000 households in the local area. [7]
Total costs for the project are expected to total $115 million, [7] with financing provided by the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. [8] Total power generation from this wind project is 49.5 MW [9]
