1st captive wind power project in Balochistan

Company also to commence commercial production of resin additives and white glue.

Dynea Pakistan Limited has announced plans to set up a 1.1-megawatt captive wind power project at Hub, Balochistan, as part of its sustainability drive and shift toward renewable energy.

In a regulatory disclosure to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Thursday, the chemicals manufacturer said its Board of Directors had approved the implementation of the project, subject to regulatory approvals and execution of necessary contracts. The company added that finalisation of the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) agreement is currently underway.

The initiative aligns with a broader trend among industrial players in Pakistan who are seeking energy independence and lower operational costs through the adoption of renewable energy. The global shift is also accelerating, with data from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) showing a 15.1% increase in global renewable capacity last year, led by wind and solar additions in China.

In Pakistan, Thatta Cement commissioned a 4.8MW captive wind power plant in April, raising its total renewable energy capacity to 9.8MW — a sign of growing adoption across energy-intensive sectors.

Separately, Dynea Pakistan’s board has also approved the commercial production and sale of resin additives and PVA white glue, expanding its product portfolio within the resin division. According to the company, the products will be manufactured using existing infrastructure, requiring no major capital expenditure aside from minor enhancements for storage and health, safety, and environmental (HSE) compliance.

Incorporated in 1982, Dynea Pakistan manufactures formaldehyde, urea/melamine formaldehyde resins, and moulding compounds. The company’s decision to diversify its product base and shift towards cleaner energy reflects growing strategic emphasis on operational efficiency and environmental stewardship.
