The document discusses Pakistan's ongoing energy crisis. It began in 2007 due to a shortage of electricity and natural resources like oil. This large gap between supply and demand has led to economic and political instability, industry closures, unemployment, and social issues for Pakistan over the past 15 years. The document recommends short-term solutions like increasing private power producers and importing electricity, as well as long-term plans such as building more dams, developing coal power plants, and exploring more oil, gas, and coal reserves.
