Germany Invests €27 Million to Harness Sindh’s Powerful Winds for Clean Energy Future
In a major boost to Sindh’s clean energy ambitions, the German government has announced a €27 million (over PKR 8 billion) investment to tap the enormous wind potential of the Gharo Wind Corridor. The funding, channeled through Germany’s KfW Development Bank, will finance the construction of a modern power substation that will unlock thousands of megawatts of renewable energy.
The Gharo Wind Corridor, stretching across Sindh’s coastline, is one of Asia’s most promising wind power zones, with consistent high-speed winds ideal for electricity generation. This project marks Germany’s strong confidence in Sindh’s capacity to lead Pakistan’s green energy transition.
Yesterday, Siemens Energy and the National Grid Company of Pakistan formally signed an agreement to begin construction. Once operational, the substation will connect dozens of wind farms to the national grid, enabling cleaner, cheaper power to reach homes and businesses across Sindh and beyond.
Under the Pakistan-German Climate and Energy Partnership, the initiative aims to modernize the transmission network, reduce dependence on costly imported fuels, and cut carbon emissions. Importantly for the people of Sindh, it promises to create hundreds of skilled jobs during construction and operation, bringing new economic opportunities to local communities.
Sebastian Jacobi, Country Director of KfW, said Germany was proud to support Pakistan’s efforts to fight climate change and harness renewable resources for development. “Sindh’s wind is an asset not just for the province but for all Pakistanis,” he noted.
German Embassy Counsellor Janine Rohwer highlighted that this project also aligns with Pakistan’s IMF reform commitments to improve the power sector and reduce costs for consumers.
With this investment, Sindh is poised to emerge as Pakistan’s clean energy heartland, showcasing how wind power can drive progress, resilience, and prosperity. For communities across the province, the project is more than an infrastructure upgrade—it is a powerful signal that Sindh’s natural wealth can fuel a brighter, greener future.
