Global warming and depletion of fossil fuels have urged the world to control their impacts and find clean and green energy sources. Due to this paradigm shift, renewable energy resources (RESs) have received tremendous attention around the globe and amongst other RESs, wind energy has been proving itself a promising renewable resource. However, still, the proper selection of wind turbines (WTs) and their installation is considered a major challenge. Presently, due to the economic boom of Pakistan as a regional power under the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and increasing energy demand, it needs to meet the energy shortage. This paper aims to conduct a pre-feasibility ainvestigation of wind farm exploitation at Gwadar and Quetta, major cities of Baluchistan province in Pakistan by harnessing the wind energy potential and electricity generation cost through different WT models. The wind speed (WS) data is recorded by a professional wind mast at different measurement heights during F.Y 2016 and analyzed using Five approaches, Modified Maximum Likelihood Method (MMLM), Graphical Method (GM), Empirical Method of Lysen (EML), Empirical Method of Jestus (EMJ) and Energy Pattern Factor Method (EPF) at the proposed site and EPF shows the best performance than other approaches. Different WTs models are also evaluated and out of them, the GW121 WT gives the lowest cost in dollars and lowest payback period at each site so it can be recommended as one of the most feasible WT for electricity generation for powering local communities at the proposed sites.
