Iran and Pakistan to build 1,000 MW wind farm

A joint venture was created to build a 1,000 MW wind farm in the southern Pakistani province of Sindh.
Sanir, an Iranian public company, signed a joint-venture agreement for the construction, with a Pakistani private company, according to enelgreenpower.com.

The agreement was announced by Ahmad Fasih, Commercial Counselor of Iran in Karachi, at a meeting with members of the Pakistani Federation of Chambers of Commerce.

Although Fasih did not provide details, he emphasized that Iran is currently the only country in the region with the technological capability allowing it to develop wind turbines on its own.

Also, it has the "know how" that is necessary to support Pakistan in the construction of any other type of power plant, as well as transport infrastructure such as highways or railways, and large residential complexes and commercial buildings.

Last year Sanir was already awarded a contract for the construction of another 50-MW wind power plant in Pakistan and for the development of electricity infrastructure.
