Pakistan Makes Goal of 650 MW Wind Energy by 2007

Karachi, Pakistan [Daily Times] Air Marshal Shahid Hamid (retd), Chairman of the Alternative Energy Development Board (AEDB), said here on Saturday 13 leading investors had been given letters of commitment to install wind power turbines and as a result 650 megawatts of wind power would be injected into the national grid by the end of 2007. At a meeting with Acting President of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FPCCI) Sheikh Muhammad Aslam and members of the FPCCI here in the Federation House, he said that the mid-term development plan of the AEDB included development of wind and solar energy to meet at least 5% of the total installed capacity, that is, 9,700 MW by 2030.

According to the IAEA website for Pakistan the current total installed electrical capacity is for 2003 17.9 GW. So this figure above of 9.7 GW seems at odds.

It is not clear if the article is implying that by 2030 growth will be so large that 5% of the total will be 9.7 GW. Seems unlikely. Perhaps somewhere along the way it went from MWh to MW.
