ENERGY SITUATION IN
PAKISTAN
2009-2010

2.
SUPPLY OF ENERGY
 Primary energy supply and per capita availability of energy
witnessed a decline of 0.64 percent and 3.09 percent
respectively during July-March 2009-10 over the same
period last year.This decrease in the primary energy supply
and per-capita availability during the first nine months of
the current fiscal year in higher than its fall in the full year of
2008-09 when primary energy supply and per capita
availability narrowed down by 0.58 percent and 2.27
percent respectively.This fall in energy supply during
current period can be attributed to inter corporate circular
debt problem.

3.
ENERGY CONSUMPTION:
 During 2008-09, Pakistan’s final consumption of about 37.3 million tons of oil
equivalent are met by mix of gas, oil, electricity, LPG sources with the different
levels of shares. As, the share of gas consumption stood at 43.7 percent in total
energy mix of country during 2008-09 followed by oil 29.0 percent, electricity 15.3
percent, coal 10.4 percent and LPG 1.5 percent. Furthurmore, this energy
consumption mix has witnessed significant changes since 2003-04, As a result, the
major consumption sources of gas witnessed as increased of 9.0 percentage
points during 2008-09 compared to 2003-04 while oil consumption share declined
by 9.5 percent points during the period under review.
 These changes in consumption of gas and oil mainly owed to shift from imported
expensive fuel to relatively cheaper source of gas. Furthurmore, the share of coal
consumption increased due to its higher production during the period under
review.The shifting of energy consumption towards indigenous resources saves
the considerable amount of foreign reserve during the period.

4.
ENERGY CONSUMPTION
 During the last ten years( 1999-00 to
2008-09), the consumption of petroleum
products has increased by an average rate
of 0.5 percent per annum.The
consumption of gas, electricity and coal
has increased at an average rate of 6.8
percent, 5.0 percent and 12.5 percent per
annum.This long term trend suggests
that composition of annual energy
consumption is shifting from petroleum
products to other energy sources.
 Energy consumption in all sources
has witnessed a negative growth rate
during 008-09 mainly on the back of
lower economic activity and circular
debt problem during the period.
whereas, due to revival in the
macroeconomics activity, the energy
consumption in petroleum products,
gas and coal has witnessed a positive
growth rates of 8.1 percent, 3.0
percent and 10.0 percent respectively
during July-march 2009-10 over the
corresponding period last year.While
the decline of 1.7 percent in energy
consumption of electricity is mainly
owed to circular debt problem during
July-march.

PETROLEUM PRODUCT
 The petroleum products energy supplies during July-March 2009-10
increased to 16.3 million tones from 14.2 million tonnes in same
period last year thereby witnessing the 14.6 percent growth during
the period. Due to increased petroleum products energy supplied,
the overall consumption of petroleum products exhibits an increase
of 8.1 percent during July-March 2009-10 against the same period
last year.The power, industry and transport sectors consumed the
higher quantity of petroleum products during the period under
consideration.
 Improvement of domestic demand led the increase in the
consumption of petroleum products by transport and industry. While
the power sector consumption of petroleum products is based on
circular debt faced by refineries forcing them to consume higher
amount of final petroleum products.

7.
NATURAL GAS:
 The supply of gas has exhibited an increase of 1.6 percent
during July-March 2009-10. The increase in supply owes to
higher production of 1.6 percent in natural gas during the
period under review.
 Due to this increase in availability of natural gas, the overall
consumption of gas remaineds higher during the period.
Furthermore, the sector wise consumption of gas suggests
that the household, commercial fertilizer and transport
sector witnessed positive growth in consumption of gas
during 2008-09.

8.
ELECTRICITY
 For reasons discussed earlier, the overall electricity consumption
has followed a declining trend since 2008-09.
 As overall electricity consumption in the country has witnessed
a negative growth of 1.7 percent during July-March 2009-10 over
the same period last year.

9.
COAL:
 Pakistan has coal resources estimated at over 185 billion tonnes, including 175
billion tonnes identified atThar coalfields in Sindh province. Pakistan’s coal
generally ranks from lignite to sub-bituminous.
 After witnessing a decline of 17.0 percent in 2008-09, the total production of coal
has increased by 10.0 percent during July-March 2009-10 over the corresponding
period last year.This improvement owes to increased import of coal during the
period as indigenous production of coal witnessed a decline 6.5 percent during the
period under review.
 As result, share of coal imports in overall availability of coal, increased from 62.2
percent in July-March 2008-09 to 67.9 percent during current fiscal year.
 About 58.9 percent of total coal in the country has been consumed by the brick
kilns industry whereas 39.9 percent consumed by cement industry during the
period of July-March 2009-10.
