Thatta Cement Company Limited has approved the development of an additional 7.5 megawatt wind power project, taking its total renewable energy capacity to 17.3MW, the company disclosed in a notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange on Wednesday.
The decision was taken by the company’s board of directors following the successful completion and commissioning of its 4.8MW wind power project.
“We wish to inform you that following the successful completion and commissioning of the Company’s 4.8 MW wind power project, the Board of Directors has approved the development of an additional wind power project with an installed capacity of 7.5 MW,” read the notice.
With the new installation, Thatta Cement’s renewable energy portfolio will comprise two wind power projects with a combined capacity of 12.3MW and an existing 5MW solar power facility.
According to the company, the expansion is aimed at increasing the share of renewable energy in its overall power mix and reinforcing its commitment to sustainable environmental practices.
