The 33 turbines are to be delivered soon after tariff approval from NEPRA (National Electric Power Regulatory Authority) and signing of the energy purchase agreement. Nordex assumes that installation work will commence this summer.
The average wind speed at the site of the planned project is 7.8 m/s. FFC has therefore opted for the Nordex S77/1500 series, which is specially designed for medium-strong wind conditions. Furthermore, due to the arid conditions prevailing in the area where the wind farm is to be sited, Nordex will supply “hot climate” versions of the turbines, which are to be produced at its facilities in China.
As well as strengthening relations with FFC Energy, a company which has a further 100MW of wind power in the pipeline, this contract enables Nordex to gain a foothold in Sindh, a province where 4,600MW of wind capacity is planned.
