Zorlu Energy Wind Power Project

The Zorlu Energy Power Project (Urdu: جھمپیر ہوا بجلی گھر, Sindhi: جھمپیر هوا بجلي گھر) is a wind farm located at Jhimpir in Thatta District of Sindh province in Pakistan, 120 kilometres north-east of Karachi.

[2] In the first phase 6 MW, five German-made gearless VENSYS 62 of Vensys wind turbines each capable of producing 1.2 MW were installed/connected with 11 kV HESCO network and started generation in April 2009.

[3] As of June 2024, all five 'VENSYS 62' turbines have been non-operational for an extended period due to maintenance issues.

The primary reason for the problem is that the VENSYS 62 turbines were not designed to operate in the high temperatures experienced in Pakistan, which can reach up to 50°C in the summer.

Currently, 45 wind power projects of around 3200 MW capacity are under process in Pakistan.
