AE INVESTS
$126 MILLION IN PAKISTAN’S ECONOMY
|
|
|
May 24, 2004, Los
Angeles—ACCESS ENERGY, an alternative energy company, is
getting ready to launch its innovative Wind Energy
Project in Pakistan. The energy project is in
response to the Request for Proposal advertised in
January of this year by Pakistan’s Alternative Energy
Development Board (AEDB), which is actively seeking
international companies to evaluate and implement
alternative/renewable energy resources for Pakistan on a
national level. |
 |
ACCESS ENERGY’s $126
million dollar investment in highly advanced wind turbine
technology is projected to generate 100 megawatts during the
first year of operations at the company’s wind farm in the
port city of Karachi. The company is also currently
exploring the viability of generating an additional 1,800
megawatts via on- and off-shore projects in the next ten
years.
The transfer of such
technology to Pakistan will not only serve as a
cost-effective and cleaner alternative source of energy, but
will also provide an additional boost to the country’s
growing economy. Numerous jobs will be created as a
result of ACCESS ENERGY’s plans to assemble and manufacture
wind turbines in Pakistan and export them throughout the
world. Undoubtedly, this venture is of significant
value to Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves.
In order to assure proper
maintenance and quality control on the project, ACCESS
ENERGY is proposing to establish a formal training program
for its Pakistani workforce since it estimates that
Pakistanis will perform at least 30 % of the project. In
addition, the company plans on sponsoring wind-engineering
programs in the country’s major universities to further
educate Pakistani engineers and technicians about the many
advantages of wind turbines.
Access Energy is a dynamic,
fast growing company dedicated to providing clean
.energy solutions in the form of wind energy6 and compressed
natural gas.
