KARACHI: Moro Power Company (MPC) has secured approval from federal authorities to use the National Transmission and Dispatch Company’s (NTDC) infrastructure for its 100-megawatt hybrid wind and solar project, marking Sindh’s first business-to-business (B2B) renewable energy venture.

The project, which falls under the Sindh Electric Power Regulatory Authority, will allow MPC to supply electricity directly to industries in Nooriabad through the Sindh Transmission and Despatch Company.

Speaking to Dawn, MPC Chief Executive Officer Mustafa Abdullah said the Independent System and Market Operator (ISMO), an autonomous entity under the Power Division of the energy ministry, had earlier this month permitted the company to utilise NTDC’s transmission infrastructure to supply renewable electricity to eligible clients.

“We are allowed to supply electricity to industrial consumers and B2B buyers located anywhere in Pakistan,” he added.

Mr Abdullah said the project was a pioneering initiative under the Competitive Trading Bilateral Contract Market B2B framework, using the national transmission network to directly supply clean, competitively priced electricity to large industrial consumers.

“The project is positioned to serve key industries, including Naveena Steel, Popular Septic and Suraj Textiles, in the Nooriabad Industrial Estate, as well as other industrial units in Port Qasim,” he added.

The Sindh government has allotted 300 acres of land in Jhimpir to MPC for establishing the 100MW hybrid wind and solar project, the first B2B electricity venture under the province’s own regulator. According to MPC, the project will comprise 65MW of wind turbines and 35MW of solar panels.

The Jhimpir wind corridor has already attracted 36 power producers with a combined installed capacity of 1,845MW.
