    I didn’t understand what happened The landscape for energy has become very complex over the last decade. Growth in global demand is causing a strain on traditional fossil fuel supply - oil, gas and coal, particularly oil, which remains the most economic fuel for transportation. Concerns about climate change are driving investment and efforts into technologies that can lead to alternatives to fossil fuels - wind power, hydro-power, geothermal, carbon capture and sequestration. The recent tragedy in Japan has caused doubt on the long term viability of nuclear power, comparable to the effect of the Three Mile incident of 30 years ago. Any alternative to fossil fuels has to demonstrate the ability to scale rapidly and to operate economically at scale - formidable challenges, when one considers it took electricity 4 decades in the US to displace gas as a source of lighting. Security of energy supply has come to the forefront for several governments.…

    During the end of 1973 through the beginning of 1975 Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) slowed down oil production, and placed an embargo on the United States and the Netherlands. Before the crisis, OPEC was offering oil to the world at a decent price, however the end of the Arab-Israeli war changed that. After the war OPEC raised prices for Europeans, and even placed an embargo on oil being sent to the Netherlands and the United States. This embargo forced Americans to purchase European cars, which helped the economy of Europe. Eventually OPEC was forced to lower their prices and lift the embargo. During the 1974 Energy Crisis countries stopped relying on oil from OPEC, which stated the decline of OPEC’s power over the world economy.…

    This paper therefore intends to explore reasons for Pakistan to increase its power generation capacity through various new measures and incentives to private and foreign investors. The negative fallout of power shortages resulted in closure of industries, low production capabilities leading to unemployment and price escalation. This put a lot of pressure on the new government which was forced to take short term measures for filling in the power gap till its mid-term and long term power generation plans came on ground. The “Vision 2020 Program” of the government was initiated to address the power shortfall over the medium and long term with a view to add around 20,000 MW into…

    During the year, the Group consolidated its position as a major regional power player and put in place measures to fuel future growth. All the Group’s power plants across Malaysia, Egypt, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and the United Arab Emirates continued to deliver strong operational performance while it undertook cost mitigation and productivity improvement measures. With some 13 power plants to date in its portfolio and a net generating capacity of 3,951 MW and a water desalination capacity of 16 million imperial gallons per day, the Group’s Power Generation segment continues to deliver significant benefits in the way of sustainable earnings and cashflow growth. In the current year, Power Generation revenue increased by 3% from RM2,718 million to RM2,812 million mainly due to improved contributions from the Malaysian and Egyptian power plants. The segment’s operating profit increased by RM202 million or 25% to RM1,006 million as a result of higher revenue, lower plant maintenance expenses, lower corporate and business development costs totalling RM114 million, and the non-recurring windfall profit levy of RM85 million which was charged in previous year. Finance costs for Power Generation reduced from RM507.1 million to RM366.8 million due to the absence of one-time refinancing costs of RM141 million which was incurred in the previous year and the resulting interest savings brought about by the refinancing exercise.
