Energy serves as the prime mover for every country’s growth. It is the fundamental requirement of each country in the present era. As the population increases day by day the electricity demand is also increasing rapidly. Pakistan has been facing the worst energy crises in this decade since its creation. The leading cause of this deprive is the mismanagement of government and poor policies. Pakistan is a country with massive potential of clean and green renewable sources of energy, wind energy holds a significant position in it, 50 GW of wind energy farms have been installed throughout the world. In Pakistan around 1237 MW wind power farms are installed out of which a major share contained by the Sindh province with the installed capacity of about 935 MW. This paper analyses the positive steps taken in the wind power sector of our country and Sindh province. Moreover, some recommendations are also presented regarding wind power potential which will be beneficial for insertion of the huge amount of cheap power in the national grid mix to lean the looming issues of Pakistan’s energy sector.
