Karachi, January 8, 2026: Danish Ambassador to Pakistan, Maja Drouss Mortensen, on Thursday visited Jhimpir in Sindh—home to Pakistan’s prime wind corridor, as part of her continued engagement to explore the country’s vast renewable energy potential.
During her visit to JCM Power, the Ambassador witnessed firsthand how Danish investments, supported through Impact Fund Denmark, are helping unlock Pakistan’s wind energy resources. The project, comprising 58 wind turbines with a combined capacity of 100 megawatts, is contributing to a cleaner national energy mix while underscoring the growing strength of Denmark–Pakistan cooperation in renewable energy.
While solar energy often dominates discussions on renewables, officials noted that the Jhimpir wind corridor remains an underutilized asset, with an estimated potential ranging between 11 and 50 gigawatts of clean wind power—enough to significantly support Pakistan’s long-term energy needs.
Beyond power generation, the Ambassador also highlighted the project’s strong focus on community development. JCM Power has refurbished and reopened a local primary school, offering fully funded education to more than 40 students. The initiative also provides healthcare services and access to electricity for nearby residents, reflecting a model of sustainable investment with tangible social impact.
Speaking after interacting with students, Ambassador Mortensen said she was inspired by their enthusiasm and motivation, noting that renewable energy projects have the potential to power not only turbines, but also brighter futures for local communities.
The visit reinforced Denmark’s commitment to supporting Pakistan’s transition toward sustainable energy while ensuring inclusive development for communities surrounding major infrastructure projects.
