The facilities, which will make up Pakistan's largest wind power plant, will help tackle energy shortages and boost renewable energy development in the country, IFC, which a member of the World Bank Group, said last week.
The financing is being provided to Triconboston Consulting Corp, which is majority owned by Pakistani industrial group Sapphire Group. Triconboston CEO Nadeem Abdullah said the project is a "testament to Sapphire’s ambition to become a leading renewable power developer in Pakistan, after having already successfully commissioned our first 52.8-megawatt wind farm in 2015."
