This document discusses the energy crisis in Pakistan. It defines an energy crisis as a shortage in the supply of energy like oil or electricity to an economy. The causes of Pakistan's energy crisis include aging infrastructure, energy wastage, high fuel costs, and underutilization of coal. The effects are negative impacts on education, industries, and the overall economy. Currently, Pakistan's electricity demand is 21,000MW but supply is only 15,500MW, resulting in a shortfall of 5,500MW expected to rise to 7,600MW. Solutions proposed include increasing supply from sources like thermal, nuclear, bio, solar and wind power, as well as short, medium, and long term plans.

2. • An Energy Crisis is any great shortfall in the
supply of energy to an economy.
• It usually refers to the shortage of oil,
electricity or other natural resources.
What is Energy Crisis?

Demand of electricity in Pakistan is 21,000MW.
Electricity demand is increasing by 10 % annually
in Pakistan.

8. At this time Pakistan produce electricity up to 15,500 MW
while present installed capacity is 22,797 MW.
In the beginning of the year 2015, the total shortfall was
5,500 MW and it is expected to increase up to 7,600 MW in
the year 2016.

9. There is no shortage in the electricity production capacity in
Pakistan at all. It is lack of commitment on government part that is
pushing the country and its economy deeper into this crisis.

10. The following methods can also be used to produce electricity
other than hydro power.
1. Thermal Electricity
2. Nuclear Electricity
3. Bio Electricity
4. Solar Power
5. Wind Power

11. Electricity can be generated
by natural resources like Oil,
gas and coal.
A large coal-field, having a
resource potential of about
175 billion tones, has been
discovered at Thar (Sindh).

12. Nuclear electricity generated by
Uranium. More electricity can be
produce with little quantity of
Uranium.
Plants in Pakistan
Karachi 137 MW
Chashma1 325 MW
Chashma2 300 MW

13. Factories producing
organic waste material
can utilize this method
that is textile mill, leather
tanneries and sugar mills.
Cow dung, municipal waste

14. We can also generate
electricity from Sun light
by Photovoltaic cells. If only
0.25% of Balochistan is
covered with solar panels
with an efficiency of only 20%,
enough electricity would be
generated to cover all of
Pakistan’s demand.

15. Pakistan can also generate
electricity by wind turbines. Pakistan
is fortunate to have high wind
speeds, something many other
countries do not have. Near
Islamabad, the wind speed is
between 13.8 to 16.5 mps and near
Karachi it is 13.8 to 15.4 mps.

16. •Imported oil and coal and shortage of natural gas will increase
prices
•Less agriculture yields
•Dependent on other countries

17. •Use own resources
•Import electricity from China

18. To overcome present energy crisis, Pakistan needs to
take the following steps in form of:
1. Short Term Plan
2. Medium Term Plan
3. Long Term Plan.

19. 1.Short Term
Plan
2. Medium Term Plan
3. Long Term Plan
• Overhaul the existing
poor distribution
system
• Import electricity
• Government should
have strict monitoring
system

20. 1. Short Term Plan
2. Medium Term
Plan
3. Long Term Plan
• Transformation of
existing system
• Developing and
installing solar and
wind projects in
villages

21. 1. Short Term Plan
2. Medium Term Plan
3.Long Term Plan
• Installing coal based
powerhouses
• Initiate agreements for
mega projects
• Explorations of more
oil, gas and coal
reserves

It is no use saying, We are doing our
best. You have got to succeed in doing
what is necessary.
