Foundation Wind Energy-II (Private) Limited 50 MW Wind Farm Project

The purpose of the Foundation Wind Energy-II (Private) Limited 50 MW Wind Farm Project (hereinafter the “proposed project” or the “project activity” or the “project” or the “wind farm”) is to utilize wind resources for electricity generation through the construction of a wind farm with a total capacity of 50 MW and to deliver the electricity generated from the project to National Transmission & Despatch Company Limited (NTDC) through its central power purchasing agency on behalf of Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) distribution companies. By replacing the electricity supplied by the WAPDA grid, which is heavily dominated by fossil fuel fired power plants, with electricity generated from wind power the proposed project activity will achieve obvious greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions by avoiding CO2 emissions. The project owner is Foundation Wind Energy-II (Private) Limited (formerly Green Power (Private) Limited) (hereinafter FWEL-II) as mentioned below. The project activity involves the installation and operation of 20 wind turbines with unit capacity of 2,500kW, which will supply an average annual generation of 143,700 MWh to the WAPDA grid. The total installed capacity is 50 MW. The construction of the project started on 22/04/2013. The project was in full commercial operation on 10/12/2014. The CDM registration date is 31/12/ 2012, the crediting period is 10/12/2014 – 09/12/2024 (Fixed).
