Abstract

Electricity occupies an important place in the socio-economic recovery and social prosperity of any country. This should be taken into account because of the fundamental need for human improvement. At present, low power generation is a major problem in Pakistan, which immediately hampers the development of the country. 1/3 of the population of Pakistan has no electricity domestically in rural areas, and in urban areas, power cuts are approximately eight to ten hours, which is quite common. Although Pakistan constantly points out shortages in traditional sources, no further developments are being made in renewable sources such as wind. Thus, it is much better to use these natural resources to meet the needs of Pakistan. This paper explores the potential of wind energy in the Sindh region and the potential for the country.

Keywords
