Goldwin has received a new supply contract for 20 units of GW 121-2.5 MW high temperature model wind turbines for ACT-II project, the Chinese company shared.

The Chinese Consul General in Karachi, Li Bijian, while lauding the deal, remarked that renewable energy was one of the most important and effective way to deal with climate change with great potential existing for it in Pakistan.
