Premium Textile Mills Limited has green-lit a US$4.15 million investment to install a 7.5 MW wind turbine as part of its ongoing transition to renewable energy, the company disclosed in a notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange.
The listed textile manufacturer, known for its production of cotton and polyester yarn, said the wind project will expand its renewable energy portfolio and further reduce its reliance on conventional grid electricity. This new turbine will increase its total wind power capacity to 15 MW, complementing the firm’s already operational 20 MW of solar generation capacity.
Once commissioned, expected by late 2026, the turbine is projected to generate around 55.2 GWh of clean electricity annually, helping avoid roughly 30,000 metric tons of carbon emissions each year. The move is part of Premium Textile Mills’ strategy to cover about 67 per cent of its overall energy demand through renewable sources.
The shift toward wind and solar energy is gaining momentum among Pakistani industrial groups as companies seek to counter persistent power outages and rising energy costs while strengthening their environmental credentials. Multiple firms across sectors are embracing renewable projects to slash energy costs and reduce carbon footprints, a trend that reflects broader industry efforts to align with sustainability and cost-efficiency goals.
This investment also highlights how Pakistan’s textile sector, a critical engine of exports and employment, is increasingly turning to green energy solutions to enhance operational resilience and competitiveness amid energy challenges.
