China wins two wind power projects in Pakistan

China and Pakistan have signed two agreements to build two wind power projects in Pakistan’s Sindh province.

The deal came during the second meeting of China-Pakistan Joint Energy Working Group and was one of 19 other joint projects discussed that include hydroelectricity, renewable energy, coal and power transmission.

Representing China at the meeting was a 28-member delegation of China National Energy Administration and 26 Chinese investors from the private sector.

Water and Power Minister Syed Naveed Qamar said the working group focused on projects that remain pending for want of financial resources.

Qamar then met with Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and briefed him about the Pakistan-China Energy Group second meeting that took up power generation and transmission issues in Pakistan.
