Renewable sources of energy are more favorable these days because these are environment friendly with zero emissions as compared to conventional energy sources. Wind energy is most rapidly growing, among several renewable energy sources, worldwide. The prime objective of this paper is to analyze and evaluate the wind energy characteristics and wind power potential at Gharo Sindh Pakistan. Five years wind data from Jan 2003 to Dec 2007, measured at 30 m height, has been considered in this study. The mean wind speed is more than 5 m/s for every year. The most probable wind speed is 9.356 m/s while the wind speed carrying maximum energy is 11.43 m/s. the highest value of standard deviation is 3.561 m/s and the lowest value is determined as 1.587 m/s for wind speed data at Gharo. The Weibull shape and scale parameters in the ranges from 1.291 to 4.569 and from 2.377 m/s to 9.727 m/s …
