The first ever energy purchase agreement of wind project in the entire Alternative Energy Sector in the country was signed between FFC Energy Limited and Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA).
The Energy Limited (EL) is pursuing development of 49.5 MW wind power project to be installed at Jhampir, Dist. Thatta, Sindh and Alternative Energy Development Board (AEDB) has already issued Letter of Intent (LOI) to EL.
