winda
Someone took the initiative!
We’ve been sitting and complaining all this time, while Shah Kamal was at his drawing board drawing up the plans. He came up with “winda”, short for ‘wind energy at home’ while gettin infuriated by the inefficiency of KESC.
Costing at Rs. 120,000 a pop and generating around 0.5 kw/hour of power, this option of power generation doesn’t come cheap. But in the long run, with absolutely NO fuel or raw material required, it could pay off for itself in no time (couple of years?).

Great Initiative.
One big slap in the face of KESC.
GO WINDA GO!!!
GO WINDA GO!!
GOOOOOOOO WINDA!!!
Creative!!! without doubt. Wind energy is a cheap renewable source of energy, but I dread the day when a building pops up right next to him ;) then the equation would look more like
120,000 = 0.0 kw/hour LOL
Steep investment for minimal return, but one must appreciate the initiative, its a thought in the right direction, we cannot remain dependent on Nuclear Energy forever and sadly hydro projects are being politically fueled to ashes
I think mass production can make prices affordable.

Great work WINDA but TEETH has very valid point. See as i had said in your own two posts that we need to get out of this alternatives. It makes us less energetic in our case against KESC. Good for few but we need to press for proper solution which is a POWER plan.
But for those who can, this is a great idea.
Hey mansoor can you provide some more technical info on this please?
and from now Shah Kamal kai ghar load shedding nahe hoge !!!!
Hmmm great initiative and alternative indeed.But, i am thinking the city where almost everyone got mugged or atleast their cell phones what are the chances that this windmill will not be the targeted for chor bazar?.I hate to be a negative but considered as a practical issue.

who said its always windy in karachi?
“Zara Hawa anay dey”
Is it always WINDY in Karachi? A good innovation though which can improve with time; and well appreciated.
Bravo! : )
People are already trying to fly their kites into the wind generator, so that it gets caught up in the blade, stopping the generator.
Why are we so destructive? Can’t even let a man enjoy his innovation
Sindh government minister has said that WAPDA refused to buy electricity from Thar Coal Project @4.7 cents pu(demanded to reduce tariff to 4.3 cents pu) but purchasing power @11 cents from Wind Projects..
Thar Coal project ?? is it functional ?????
It is from the Arbab Raheem constituency Thar, and seriously doubtful…. any updates on it., correct me please….!
I am willing to spend on a long term objective but I also need money back guarantee..
Hi All!!
The current strategies to findout Alternative Energy Resources are spreading world wide. This strategy was adopted right after the 1973 Arab-Israiel War. In that war ARABS used Oil as a weapon and stopped production of oil resulting the Developed countries to think of this problem!!

I was just curious to know why people don’t install solar panels on their rooftop for energy??? It’s always hot and sunny in Pak so why not?
@Shiraz solar panels are not cheap and not readily available..
@Jamal
Chinese firms were working on the projects since years and after their study they propose @4.7 cpu price which is apparently high for WAPDA (demands 4.3cpu). Arbab belongs to same constituency perhaps.
an old news item detail cooperation plan
Actually that is illegal without proper documentation and approval by the government.
My friend set one up and kesc made him take it down.. they said it was dangerous and illegal..
lol kesc loves doing that.. one of my friend setup gas generator for 24 hour usage after proper permission for gas company and when he started using it the kesc guys came ,coz they were curious about drop in usage and consumption of kesc’s units.. and when they found out that he is using generator, they said its illegal and against rules…
weird rules …!
