In Quaid-e-Azam Solar Energy Park in Bahawalpur of Pakistan, a 100 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) project is being constructed, Powerway Renewable Energy Co. Ltd. (Foshan, China) reports. The company is providing solar mounting systems and ground screw foundations, as well as construction services for this large project. The project, which is reported to be the first large-scale ground-mounted solar PV plant in Pakistan, will be completed in 2014. This project’s Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC), and Operation and Maintenance (O&M) are contracted to TBEA, a leading Chinese PV manufacturer and systems integrator. Cooperation with Chinese project developer TBEA Powerway has been cooperating with TBEA from the very early stages of the project, to provide reliable cost-saving mounting system designs, pull out tests for ground screw foundations, construction plans, logistical plans, and other engineering services. “Thanks to Powerway’s highly efficient and professional team, along with our abundant solar farm building experience, we were lucky to win the fierce competitive bidding for this project. Pakistan has an energy shortfall of 6 GW, so the government has been striving recently to develop large-scale solar projects of up to 1 GW. It is a very promising market,” said Powerway’s CEO Benson Wu. “Powerway has made good preparations and is set up for business in Pakistan. In 2013, we signed a cooperation agreement with Nizam Energy, the leading player in the Pakistan photovoltaic solar industry. They have a nationwide network of offices with reliable after sales service. This hand in hand relationship make us run quickly. Our local team, including sales, design, and engineering, knows the Pakistan market and its demand well, so we can provide comprehensive services to our customers in timely manner. Moreover, we have a series of piling machines standing by in Pakistan, because we believe that we can realize more PV developments in addition to this ongoing project. “
