Pakistan is facing a severe energy crisis as demand for energy exceeds supply. Non-renewable fossil fuels like natural gas, petroleum and coal currently meet most of Pakistan's energy needs but supplies are limited. Renewable resources like hydroelectric, solar and wind have significant untapped potential but have not been fully developed. The country also has plans to increase nuclear and other alternative energy capacities to help address the crisis. However, issues around infrastructure, management, funding and technology access have hindered progress in expanding energy supplies to meet growing demand.
The document provides an overview of Pakistan's energy sector, including its total energy consumption which stood at 63.1 MTOE in 2009-10. It notes Pakistan's reliance on non-renewable resources for over 70% of its energy needs. Key issues facing Pakistan's energy sector are growing demand, an imbalanced consumption mix relying too heavily on depleting resources, underdevelopment of domestic energy sources like Thar coal and hydropower, and poor governance. Addressing these challenges will require integrated energy planning, developing indigenous renewables, and improving governance and demand management.
Pakistan has been facing an energy crisis for several years due to rising demand outpacing supply. The country's energy infrastructure is underdeveloped and poorly managed. While Pakistan has potential renewable resources like wind and solar, as well as large coal reserves, it has failed to develop these sectors adequately to meet the growing need. Mega dam projects that could harness Pakistan's hydroelectric potential have also been neglected. To resolve the crisis, the government must prioritize funding to boost supply through renewable projects, improve infrastructure, ensure payments to power producers to clear circular debt, and enhance cooperation with partners like China.
This presentation is about the energy crisis in Pakistan. In which I describe the shortfall of electricity since 2014. Further discussion related to the problems and causes which are actually creating the hindrance in the production of electricity.
The document provides an overview of renewable and conventional energy sources. It discusses how the world currently relies heavily on non-renewable fossil fuels for energy. Renewable sources like solar, wind, hydro and biomass are increasingly important to develop. Conventional sources include fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and natural gas which are finite, as well as nuclear and hydro power. While conventional sources currently dominate global energy production, renewable sources offer advantages like reduced environmental pollution and will need to grow to meet future demand.
The document discusses the function and process of thermal power plants. Coal is the most common fuel used in thermal power plants. Coal is burned to heat water and create steam, which spins turbines connected to generators to produce electricity. The steam is then cooled and recycled to repeat the process. Thermal power plants in Pakistan are located in major cities like Karachi, Lahore, and Quetta. A future non-conventional thermal plant is being built in Thar to use local coal reserves through gasification. Key factors for locating thermal plants include availability of fuel, land for operations and disposal of ash byproduct.
The document discusses Pakistan's ongoing electricity crisis. It notes that Pakistan currently faces electricity shortages of up to 18 hours per day. The key causes of the crisis include a shortage of domestic energy resources compared to rising demand, poor governance, corruption, and high debt in the energy sector. Potential solutions discussed include increasing investment and capacity in hydropower, coal, nuclear, solar, and biogas energy. Improved energy planning and aggressive expansion of power generation across various technologies is needed to address Pakistan's electricity needs.
This document provides an overview of the power sector in India, including:
1. It discusses the history and growth of the power industry in India since the late 1800s, with the first demonstrations of electric lighting in Calcutta and Bombay.
2. It outlines that India now has over 417 GW of total installed power generation capacity from sources like coal, gas, hydro, nuclear, and renewables.
3. The document also notes generation targets set by the Ministry of Power to reach 1,750 billion units in 2023-24, a 7% increase over the previous year.
India relies heavily on coal for energy but has limited oil and gas reserves. It aims to increase access to electricity and transition to more renewable resources like solar and wind over the long term. Currently, coal contributes over half of India's primary energy while oil and natural gas make up most of the remainder. The document outlines India's current energy sources and consumption patterns as well as strategies to improve efficiency, expand electricity access, develop renewable energy, and transition its energy mix to be more sustainable.
It's a short overviewic slidemania explaining the energy crisis that has hunted the Pakistan, its causes, consequences, solutions along with energy resources and many more.
Sustainability with Regards to coal energy ProductionSangeen Jogezai
This document discusses the role of coal in sustainable energy production. It argues that coal will continue playing a major role in providing energy access to developing countries due to its abundant availability and low cost. While coal has disadvantages like carbon emissions and environmental damage, technologies like carbon capture and storage (CCS) and integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) can reduce its carbon footprint. The document also summarizes Pakistan's energy crisis and its plans to use domestic coal reserves at Thar to increase power supply. It recommends using all energy sources, including coal with proper emissions controls, until renewable resources become more affordable and prevalent.
The document discusses Pakistan's energy crisis and its effects on the economy. It outlines several causes of the crisis, including aging infrastructure, high fuel costs, lack of energy planning, and inefficiencies. The crisis led to unemployment, reduced industrial and agricultural output, and higher electricity prices. To overcome the crisis, the document recommends improving energy infrastructure, replacing outdated equipment, exploring renewable resources like solar and wind, and better long-term energy planning.
- Turkey's electricity consumption rose 2.7% in 2015 to 264.1 billion kWh while output fell 3.1% to 259.7 billion kWh. Additional renewable energy capacity of 4,558 MW was added in 2015 including 219 MW of geothermal, 835.6 MW of wind, and 2,229 MW of hydro.
- Turkey has significant solar, wind, hydro, and natural gas resources for electricity generation. Various policies aim to increase renewable capacity and develop a competitive electricity market.
1) India relies heavily on coal for energy but has limited oil and gas reserves, importing over 25% of its primary energy needs.
2) Coal contributes over half of India's primary energy production and consumption while oil accounts for about a third. Natural gas and renewable sources like hydro, wind and solar are also increasingly important.
3) To become more energy secure and sustainable, India is pursuing strategies to improve energy efficiency, increase domestic production, shift to less polluting energy sources, and boost access to energy nationwide.

• INTRODUCTION
• PAKISTAN’S ENERGY SECTOR
• SOURCES OF ENERGY IN PAKISTAN (Upto Non
Renewable Energy Sources)
5. 1.INTRODUCTION
• Energy is considered to be life line of any
economy and most vital instrument of
socioeconomic development of a country.
Energy is pivotal in running machinery in
factories and industrial units, for lighting our
cities and powering our vehicles etc.
• There has been an enormous increase in the
demand of energy as a result of industrial
development and population growth, in
comparison to enhancement in energy
production.
6. CONT………,
• Supply of energy is, therefore, far less than
the actual demand, resultantly crisis has
emerged. An energy crisis can be defined as
any great bottleneck (or price rise) in the
supply of energy resources to an economy.
7. 2.Pakistan’s Energy Sector:
• Pakistan’s energy infrastructure is
not well developed, rather it is
considered to be underdeveloped
and poorly managed.
• Currently the country is facing
severe energy crisis. Despite of
strong economic growth and rising
energy demand during past
decade, no serious efforts have
been made to install new capacity
of generation.
• .
8. CONT….,
• Moreover, rapid demand growth,
transmission losses due to outdated
infrastructure, power theft, and
seasonal reductions in the availability of
hydropower have worsened the
situation.
• Consequently, the demand exceeds
supply and hence load-shedding is a
common phenomenon through power
shutdown.
9. 2.a ENERGY SUPPLY
• During 2009-10, Energy supply and per capita
availability of energy witnessed a decline of
0.64 % and 3.09 % respectively in comparison
to previous year.
• Pakistan needs around 15,000 to 20000 MW
electricity per day, however, currently it is
able to produce about 11,500 MW per day
hence there is a shortfall of about 4000 to
9000 MW per day. This shortage is badly
hampering the economic growth of the
country.
10. 2.b ENERGY CONSUMPTION
• Pakistan’s energy consumption is met
by mix of gas, oil, electricity, coal and
LPG resources with different level of
shares.
• Share of gas consumption stood at 43.7
%, followed by oil 29.0 percent,
electricity 15.3 percent, coal 10.4
percent and LPG 1.5 percent.
11.
12.
13. 3. Sources of Energy in Pakistan:
• 3.1 Non-renewable resources (Fossil
fuels): [Limited – Expensive]
• Non renewable resources are primarily fossil
fuels emanating from remains/decomposition
of animals and plants deposited deep into the
earth crust and converted into oil and gas.
These resources cannot be replenished.
• There are three main types of fossil fuels:
coal, petroleum, natural gas.
14. a). Petroleum products:
• In 2009-10, consumption of petroleum
products was 29% of total share of energy.
• Majority of crude oil is imported from gulf
countries to meet the demand. Power,
industry and transport sectors consume
higher quantity of petroleum followed by
agriculture and house holds.
15. Cont….,
• Petroleum is also used in generation of
electricity, which counts 64 percent of total
electricity generation (34 coming from hydro
generation).
• Balance recoverable reserves of crude oil in
country have been estimated at 303.63
million barrels and we are extracting
approximately 24 million crude oil annually,
meaning if we do not explore new wells, we
will exhaust our current crude oil reserves in
12-13 years.
16. b). Natural Gas:
• Average production of natural gas is 4,048.76
million cubic feet per day as against 3,986.53
million during corresponding last year,
showing an increase of 1.56 percent.
• Natural gas is used in general industry to
prepare consumer items, to produce cement,
for manufacturing fertilizers and to generate
electricity. In form of CNG, it is used in
transport sector.
.
17. Cont….,
• Share of natural gas in energy consumption
is 43.7 percent. Due to price differential
between CNG and Petrol, vehicles are using
converted to CNG and approximately 2.0
million vehicles are using CNG and currently
Pakistan is the largest CNG user country in
the world.
• Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) contributes
around 0.7 percent to total energy supply in
country and is being imported to stop
deforestation in hilly areas.
18. c). Coal:
• Pakistan has coal reserves estimated at over
185 billion tonnes, including 175 billion
tonnes identified at Thar coalfields. Coal is
primarily being used in brick kiln and cement
industries and approximately 67 percent coal
is imported because indigenous coal is not
considered of good quality.
• Guddu plant is largest plant thermal
operated plant with a capacity of 1,650 MW,
while two largest Independent Power Plants
(IPPs) in Pakistan are Kot Addu (1,600 MW)
and Hubb River (1,300 MW)
19. Arsalan khan ( 2010-ch-120 )
• SOURCES OF ENERGY IN
PAKISTAN (Renewable Energy resources)
• CAUSES OF ENERGY CRISIS
20. 3.2 Renewable Resources :
(Unlimited – sustainable – clean)
• Renewable energy resources are
those, which are naturally
replenished and comes from
resources such as water, sunlight,
wind, rain, tides, and geothermal
heat.
21. a). Hydro power:
• Hydro power is generated by using
electricity generators to extract energy
from moving water. Pakistan is having
rich resource of energy in hydal power,
however, only 34 % of total electricity
generation is coming from hydro power.
Currently we are having 6555 MW
against the potential of 41000 to 45000
MW.
23. Potential Hydropower stations
• Diamer-Bhasha Dam 4500 MW
• Munda Dam – Swat river in
Mohamand
• Agency 740 MW
• Kalabagh Dam 2400-3600 MW
• Bunji Dam 5400 MW
• Dasu Dam 3800 MW
24. 3.3 Alternative Sources of Energy
• a). Wind:
• Pakistan has potentials of wind energy
ranging from 10000 MW to 50000 MW, yet
power generation through wind is in initial
stages in Pakistan and currently 06 MW has
been installed in first phase in Jhampir
through a Turkish company and 50 MW will
be installed shortly.
• More wind power plants will be built in
Jhampir, Gharo, Keti Bandar and Bin Qasim
Karachi.
25. b). Solar :
• Pakistan has potential of more than 100,000
MW from solar energy. Building of solar
power plants is underway in Kashmir, Punjab,
Sindh and Balochistan.
• However, private vendors are importing
panels / solar water heaters for consumption
in the market. Alternative Energy
Development Board (AEDB) is working for
20,000 solar water heaters in Gilgit Baltistan.
• Mobile companies have been asked by the
government to shift supply of energy to their
transmission towers from petroleum to solar
energy panels.
26.
27. c). Agricultural biomass /biodiesel
• Biomass production involves using garbage or
other renewable resources such as sugarcane,
corn or other vegetation to generate
electricity. When garbage decomposes,
methane is produced and captured in pipes
and later burned to produce electricity.
• Vegetation and wood can be burned directly
to generate energy, like fossil fuels, or
processed to form alcohols.
28. CONT….,
• Brazil has one of the largest renewable
energy programs from
biomass/biodiesel in the world,
followed by USA. Alternative Energy
Development Board (AEDB) of Pakistan
has planned to generate 10 MW of
electricity from municipal waste in
Karachi followed by similar projects in
twenty cities of country.
29.
30. d). Tidal:
• Tidal power can be extracted from
Moon-gravity-powered tides by
locating a water turbine in a tidal
current.
• Plans are underway in Pakistan to
harness tidal energy, however, no
implementation has been made so
far.
31. 3.4 Nuclear:
• Pakistan has a small nuclear power program,
with 425 MW capacity, but there are plans to
increase this capacity substantially.
• Since Pakistan is outside the Nuclear Non-
Proliferation Treaty, it is excluded from trade
in nuclear plant or materials, which hinders its
development of civil nuclear energy.
Remaining issues in development of nuclear
energy are enrichment of uranium from U235
to U238, controlling chain reaction and
dumping of solid waste.
32. Pakistan Nuclear Power Reactors
• Reactor Type MW Construction started
• Commercial operation
• Karachi PHWR 125 1966 1972
• Chashma 1 PWR 300 1993 2000
• Chashma 2 PWR 300 2005 expected 2011
Total 425 MW
• * Pressurized heavy water reactor (PHWR) -
Canadian based reactors .
• ** Pressurized water reactor (PWR) – Chinese
based reactors.
33. 4. Causes of Energy Crisis
• Pakistan’s energy crisis traces its roots to
following distinct causes :
• Growing Energy Demand
• increase in population,
• enhancement in lifestyle
• industrial and agricultural growth
• greater transportation needs Lack of
proactive and integrated planning for
production of energy.
34. Imbalanced energy mix
• Energy mix in Pakistan is quite imbalance in
comparison to other countries, with greater
reliance on non-renewable resources of gas (43.7
%) and oil (29 % - majority of which is imported).
• Prices of petroleum products/crude oil fluctuate
and in current Afro-Arab political crisis, the oil
prices are likely to increase manifold affecting oil
prices in Pakistan.
• A rational energy mix planning ought to be
developed giving greater dependency to
renewable (hydel power), indigenous (coal) and
alternative energy resources (wind and solar
energy).
35. Non-utilization of enormous
indigenous energy resources
• Thar Coal:
• Pakistan is having one of the largest coal fields
in Thar, having reserves of more than 175
billion tones, which exceeds equivalent oil
reserves of Saudi Arabia, Iran etc.
• In addition to power generation, this coal can
be used for chemical and fertilizer
production.
• Moreover, employment provided to
workforce can be instrumental in increasing
GDP and economic prosperity to many
families.
36. Hydal power generation
• Pakistan has potential of hydro resources to
generate 41000 to 45000 MW, however, only
6555 MW is currently being generated by this
important renewable resource.
• Four large hydro power dams namely
Kalabagh 3600 MW, Bhasha 4500 MW, Bunji
5400 MW and Dasu 3800 MW can be
constructed to generate hydro electricity.
• Similarly, many small to medium hydro plants
can be installed on rivers and canals etc.

• CONSEQUENCES OF ENERGY CRISIS
• CONCLUSIONS
• Recommendation/Solutions of Energy Crisis
• REFERANCES
38. 5. Consequences of Energy Crisis
• i). Economic Factors:
• Energy is pivotal for running all other
resources and crisis of energy directly
influences all other sectors of the economy.
• The economic progress is hampered by
decline in agricultural productivity as well as
by halting in operations of industries.
• One important factor of lower GDP and
inflation of commodity prices in recent years
is attributed to shortfalls in energy supply.
39. ii). Agriculture Sector:
• Agricultural productivity of
Pakistan is decreasing due to
provision of energy for running
tube wells, agricultural machinery
and production of fertilizers and
pesticides.
• Thus higher energy means higher
agricultural productivity.
40. iii). Industrial Sector
• Nearly all Industrial units are run with
the energy and breakage in energy
supply is having dire consequences on
industrial growth.
• As a result of decline in energy supply,
industrial units are not only being
opened, but also the existing industrial
units are gradually closing.
41. iv). Unemployment
• By closure of industrial units and less
agricultural productivity, new
employment opportunities ceased to
exist and already employed manpower
is shredded by the employers to
increase their profit ratios.
• Thus energy crisis contributes towards
unemployment.
42. v). Social Issues
• This factor is primarily related to the
domestic usage of energy (cooking,
heating and water provision).
• Load shedding cause unrest and
frustration amongst the people and
results in agitation against the
government.
43.
44. vi). Poverty
• Declination in economic growth, lower
agricultural productivity, unemployment
and shackling industrial growth result in
increasing poverty.
• Currently, around forty percent of our
population is living beyond poverty line
and this ratio is increasing day by day.
• Ample control of energy crisis will surely
yield in curbing the menace of poverty.
45.
46. 6. Conclusion
• Energy Crisis has, more or less, plagued
all sectors of Pakistan’s machinery
ranging from economy to industry,
agriculture to social life, inflation to
poverty and it is hampering national
progress in a drastic manner.
• Nonetheless, menace of energy crisis
can be overwhelmed by government
through making effective policies and its
proactive implementation.
47. CONT….,
• Simultaneously, it is the
responsibility of us, the people of
Pakistan, to utilize the available
energy astutely and wisely to play
our due role for progress of the
country.
48. 7. Recomendations/Solutions of
Energy Crisis :
• Energy crisis can be curtailed by :
• Reducing unnecessary energy use.
• Usage of electricity saving devices.
• Awareness campaign for energy saving.
• Reduction in unnecessary
transportations by developing good
public transport systems and
strengthening Pakistan railways .
49. CONT…,
• Reduction in industrial uses with installation
of effective equipment/ energy efficient and
with increasing efficiency of workforce (cost
effective)
• Decreasing reliance on rental power projects,
because instead of doing any good, they are
increasing prices of electricity.
• Decreasing line losses by using efficient power
transmission cables.
50. ii). Developing new energy resources
• Tapping indigenous resources (Thar
coal)
• Using renewable resources (water) by
constructing new dams and hydro
power plants
• Import of natural gas by IPI (Iran
Pakistan India) and TAPI (Turkmenistan,
Afghanistan, Pakistan and India)
pipelines .
51. CONT…,
• Import of electricity from Tajikistan -through
Pak Afghan Tajikistan transmission- and Iran
(approximately 1000 MW from each of them)
pipelines.
• Utilizing alternative energy resources
• Wind power
• Biodiesel /Biomass
• Solar
• Tidal
• Enhancing civilian nuclear capacity .
