Pakistan’s clean energy sector reached an important milestone with the inauguration of a 7.5 MW wind captive power project developed by Burj Clean Energy Modaraba in collaboration with Power Cement Limited. The project was officially inaugurated on May 13, 2026, at Power Cement’s plant site in Karachi.
This initiative marks a notable step in the country’s industrial energy transition, as it is described as Pakistan’s first green captive power transaction of its kind. Developed under a lease arrangement, the project aims to provide renewable energy directly to industrial operations, helping reduce reliance on conventional fossil fuels while supporting long-term sustainability goals.
The project has secured financing through a PKR 1.5 billion project finance facility arranged by The Bank of Punjab, with participation from National Bank of Pakistan and Pak Kuwait Investment Company. The financing structure demonstrates growing institutional support for renewable energy projects in Pakistan’s industrial sector.
By integrating wind power into cement manufacturing operations, the project is expected to improve energy efficiency while lowering carbon emissions. As energy-intensive industries face increasing pressure to adopt sustainable practices, such projects represent a practical path toward decarbonization and cost optimization.
The development also reinforces Burj Clean Energy Modaraba’s strategy of expanding Shariah-compliant clean energy solutions across Pakistan. With rising demand for alternative energy sources, partnerships between renewable energy providers and industrial companies are likely to play a key role in accelerating the country’s green transition.
This project signals a broader shift in Pakistan’s energy landscape, where private sector collaboration, sustainable financing, and renewable infrastructure are becoming central to industrial growth and environmental responsibility.
