Crude oil in Pakistan have been estimated at Energy From Hydropower Hydropower Station uses the energy of flowing water to move turbine and generate electricity. Energy From Wind Wind power uses the power of the wind to propel the blades of wind turbines. Energy From Solar Solar power involves using solar cells to convert sunlight into electricity.

Electricity in Pakistan Electricity total installed capacity: 22, MW In 18 years our production capacity has increased by just MWs whereas our demand has increased drastically. Hydel power generation : Pakistan has potential of hydro resources to generate to MW, however, only MW is currently being generated by this important renewable resource. Discourage the use of CNG for Transport and divert the gas retrieved, to efficient gas generating power plants and industry.

Pakistan has huge potential for According to a USAID report, Pakistan has the potential of producing , MW of wind energy, of which only the Sindh corridor can produce 40, megawatts. Energy Savers Awareness campaign for energy saving Reduction in unnecessary transportations by developing good public transport systems and strengthening Pakistan railways. Decreasing line losses by using efficient power transmission cables Decreasing reliance on rental power projects, because instead of doing any good, they are.

Effects on People Effects on Economy Energy Conservation Measures Short Term Measures Long Term Measures Although only 46 percent of the population of the country has the facility of electricity but still the government is unable to manage a steady power to them.

The economy and subsequently people are badly effected by this crisis with loss of huge capital and degrading health. The solution to the current crisis lies in energy conservation al all levels in the country. However the use of alternate energy such as wind turbine and solar power can be utilized to immediately reduce the shortage, while electricity generation projects from coal and large dams can provide a long term solution to electricity shortage.

Pakistan Electric Power Crisis and its Possible Solutions Pakistan is in the grip of a serious power shortage crisis that is affecting all sectors of the economy and the various segments of the society. As we write this report, the country is plunging deeper and deeper into the crisis; the electricity shortfall has hit the record level.

This situation has pushed the people of Pakistan to bear the burden of 8 to 16 hours load shedding, which might further increase in the future.

Also the fact that electrical power shortages are so sever in Pakistan where only approximately forty-six percent of the population has access to it. The electricity shortfall has hit the record level of 7, MW in July owing to the forced shutdown of many units of power generation plants following the severe fuel scarcity. This power shortage crisis is likely to continue for several years even if the steps are taken to reduce it on war-footing basis.

Below mentioned data show that the gap between demand and supply of electrical power will increase in the future. According to the statistics published on Jul 2 in Energy Bulletin the gap between firm supply and peak hours demand has shrunk to three digit MW during this year and will slip into negative columns next year MW and further intensify to -1, MW during the year All this data was readily available to all concerned government, so the answer to the above question is evident but there are some other factors which turned the existing power crisis into worse than expected.

Hydropower generated from the country's two major dams accounts for about 30 percent, and its one nuclear power plant produces less than five percent. The primary trigger although not the long-term cause of the power cuts was a dry December. The low rainfall reduced the water in the dams, reducing the total power output from all major hydro electric dams.

There are also restrictions on water release; because dams are also irrigation reservoir, there are restrictions on the amount of water it can release for electricity generation.

Even when the rains came, and the electricity supply increased, that did not guarantee that the power would stay on. WAPDA and other independent power producers were having problems because they were unable to pay for oil from oil marketing companies. Effects on People The household sector been the largest consumer of electricity accounting for
