Introduction Pakistan is a victim of energy crisis A shortfall of energy is called energy crisis Energy crisis is not specific to Pakistan Causes behind the energy crisis Poor management Circular debt Power theft and Power wastage Corruption and lack of accountability Mis-allocation of resources Increasing price of oil in international market In past no efforts were made Alternative energy resources: Hard technologies and Soft technologies Hard technologies: Nuclear power Natural gas Natural gas import Coal LNG Soft technologies: Hydropower Solar energy Wind energy Biomass production Remedies: Renewable resources must to counter energy crisis Pure financial management Resolving energy crisis should be priority of government Conclusion
Pakistan has been facing energy crisis since four years which had badly affected and destroyed industrial and economical sector that lead to unemployment. So as the situation stands today, despite having significant reserves of coal, natural gas and hydropower generation, three are hardly any immediate solution to resolve this issue. The major reasons which have lead to energy crisis are poor management, circular debt, corruption, misallocation of resources, increasing price of oil in international market and in past no efforts were mace to cope with the coming shortage of electricity. In Pakistan there are enough resources from which government can develop electricity, like natural gas exploration, solar energy, wind energy and coal. But we cannot overcome on energy shortage only through these alternatives but the government and relevant departments have to take some efficient measures for instance renewable resources should be used, finance sector must play its role and
