Going green: Power Cement to install 7.5MW wind plant
In a significant step toward sustainability, Power Cement Limited (POWER) has announced plans to set up a 7.5MW wind power project, which is expected to go live by FY2026. The listed cement maker shared the development during its corporate briefing session on Wednesday. The project will utilise Goldwind turbine with a capacity of 7,500 kW and will follow a rental model, similar to the company's existing solar agreements. 'Expected completion is targeted within FY2026,' the company stated. Upon the project's completion, wind energy would account for 11% of Power Cement's energy mix. The company already generates 34% and 6% of its energy from WHRS (Waste Heat Recovery System) and solar, respectively. Whereas, the remaining 60% comes from HESCO. Founded in 1981, Power Cement Limited stands as the flagship Company of Arif Habib Group, a prominent financial and industrial conglomerate. The factory site of the company is located at Motorway M-9, Nooriabad, Sindh. The company was previously known as Al-Abbas Cement Limited until its acquisition in 2010 by the Arif Habib Group. Presently, the company has three manufacturing lines, with a cumulative nameplate clinker production capacity of 10,700 TPD, with total annual capacity of 3.21 million tons. The company is one of the largest players in Pakistan's South zone with a total annual cement production capacity of 3.37 million tons, 11,235 TPD. The announcement aligns with a broader industry shift in Pakistan toward renewable energy as companies look to cut energy costs and reduce reliance on the national grid. Last month, Thatta Cement Company Limited completed and commissioned a 4.8MW wind power project at its plant in Thatta, Sindh. Earlier this month, Ali Asghar Textile Mills Limited (AATM), a former textile unit turned logistic service provider, informed it was developing a 1,00KW (1MW) solar power project, which has now entered the execution phase. In March, Tariq Corporation Limited announced plans to set up a 200KW solar power system at its facility.

‘We have to build trust with our agency': JSO forms new Health & Wellness Section
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office says a newly formed Health & Wellness section will provide support to the overall physical, mental, and emotional health of members of JSO. It includes things like peer support, counseling services, the critical incident stress management team, K9 and military spouse support, along with chaplain services. The newly formed section will be headed by Commander Randi Glossman, who recently served as the commander of Patrol District 3. >>> STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <<< [DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks] Read: Police, FWC tracking black bear spotted in downtown St. Augustine 'We have to build trust with our agency,' says Glossman. 'One of the things, unfortunately, within law enforcement is the stigma that it is not okay to say that I'm not okay, and we have to fix that,' says Glossman. 'We have to show our employees that it's okay to come forward and say, I need help, whether it's I'm having feelings of either suicide. Or I need help getting through, getting over a call I've been to, or I'm having problems at home with my spouse or my boyfriend or my girlfriend, I'm having problems with my children. I mean, we're human.' Glossman spoke highly of previous beneficial trainings for JSO that deal with mental health topics like the POWER program . 'We wanna have a healthy agency because we are better serving our community when we're healthier. We see things better, we make better decisions,' says Glossman. Recently, JSO has had two separate officer-involved shootings. Read: Jacksonville leaders hold heated discussion about alleged illegal gun registry investigation On Sunday, an officer shot and killed a man after a chaotic encounter between police stemming from a domestic disturbance on Normandy Blvd. On Friday, an officer shot and killed a man who police say attacked two people with butcher knives on Jillian Drive near Ricker Road. 'We have tons of resources available, not only through our agency, with peer support, we have critical incidents stress management teams, we have a an officer-involved shooting team that goes out anytime those those incidents happen and they help our officers through these processes and in addition to that we have resources outside of our agency that do the same or similar things,' says Glossman. Funding-wise, like any other JSO funding entity, the section will have to go through the city council, and the sheriff would have to ask for this to be included in JSO's budget. 'Next year, I am hopeful that we will have a robust budget that we ask city council for because we do want to initiate a lot of programs that will help our officers, because, like we just mentioned, when we're healthy, the city will be healthy,' says Glossman. JSO says there will also be other forms of employee assistance designed to proactively help JSO employees and their family's wellbeing.
