5. An energy crisis is any great short fall in the supply of
energy to any economy.
Energy crisis refer to the shortage of oil, electricity or any
other natural resources.
Energy crisis in Pakistan was expected and it is started in
year 2007.
6. Why Pakistan facing such crisis?
What are reason behind it?
Why Pakistan is not utilizing it?
Why Pakistan is importing coal if it has
already a large amount of coal?
Why half of population of Pakistan has no
access to electricity?
8. Energy type Potential Source
Crude oil 339 barrels recoverable Pak ECO survey 2007-08
reserves.
Natural gas 31,266 trillion cubic feet Pak ECO survey 2007-08
recoverable reserves.
Coal 185 billion tonnes Pak ECO survey 2007-08
recoverable reserves.
Nuclear power 425 mw World nuclear association
2008
Hydro energy 46,0000 mw identified Govt of pakistan 2005
potential
9. At present energy is generated by only three modes.
Thermal energy 65 %
Hydel 33%
Nuclear 2%
10. Two electricity companies that produce in Pakistan.
WAPDA
KESC
11. Total power production capacity in country is
19,500MW.
Country is falling short of 45,00MW.
The demand of electricity is growing at the annual rate
of 9%, while supply of electricity is at comparatively
slower rate of 7%.
12. According to survey:
Household 44.2%
Industries 31.1%
Agriculture 14.3%
Government sector 7.4%
Commercial 5.5%
Street light 0.7%
13. Aging of the equipment
High cost of fuel
Unuse of coal
Wastage of energy
Unproductive efforts
14. Energy crisis badly effect Education.
Great effect on industries.
Effect on economy.
Higher electricity prizes.
Effect on agriculture.
Unemployment increased
15. Short term plans:
Continuous updating of equipment.
Conservation of energy resources.
Reactivate the closed power stations.
Explorations of more oil, gas and coal reserves.
Increase the number of IPPS (independent power
producers)
16. Transformation of existing system to renewable energy
resources.
•Developing and installing biogas, solar, wind and micro
hydro based projects in villages.
17. Developing and installing coal based powerhouses
Initiate agreements for mega projects with the energy
extensive countries for sustainable
energy resources
Exploration of more oil, gas and coal reserves
Provide incentive for up gradation and training to the
engineers for new technology
18. Pakistan is blessed and rich in resources.
Government of Pakistan should take step.
Energy production from coal must be initiated.
Government also should take step to utilize the coal
reserves though it will give us energy for next 25 years.
19. Policies should be implemented now.
Policiesshould not change with the change in
government.
Pakistan has the resources to meet its growing energy
requirements.
