**Abstract:** This research paper explores the potential of wind turbine power plants as a sustainable energy solution for addressing energy deprivation in the Panjgur region of Balochistan. Balochistan, an area with limited access to traditional energy sources, suffers from chronic electricity shortages, hindering its socio-economic development. This study examines the feasibility of harnessing wind energy through establishing wind turbine power plants. This paper discusses the technical aspects of wind turbine technology, including turbine designs, capacities, and power generation potential. The findings highlight the viability of wind turbine power plants as a renewable energy source to alleviate the energy crisis in the region and promote sustainable development at a very reasonable price.
