{{Future power plant}}

The turbine manufacturer [[Fuhrlaender]] of [[Germany]] and [[Access Energy Inc]] of [[United States]] have signed an agreement with [[Alternative Energy Development Board]] (AEDB) of Pakistan, to manufacture wind [[turbines]] in Pakistan to help establish wind power projects.  US-based Access Energy who would set up a 50 MW wind power plant along the general wind corridor in Gharo, would finance the project, whereas the German Company, Fuhrlaender, would transfer the technology to Pakistan for manufacturing of wind turbines along with its accessories to set up a minimum of 1000 MW power plants.
