2. • Introduction
• Hydropower
• Solar Power
• Wind Power

3. • Pakistan, despite the enormous
potential of its energy resources.
• In 2003 there was no use of
renewable energy in the country.
• Government created an
autonomous Alternative Energy
Development Board (AEDB).
• Board has been created to
coordinate, facilitate and promote
Alternative / Renewable Energy
technologies to achieve 5% share of
power generation through
renewable energies by year 2030.

4. • Pakistan is an energy
deficient country.
• Pakistan needs about
20,000MW electricity per day.
• Presently, it can produce
about 11, 500 MW per day.
• The demand exceeds supply
and hence “load- shedding” is
a common phenomenon
through frequent power
shutdowns.

5.  Its well known source of energy in
Pakistan.
 The northern areas of the country
are rich with hydro power
resources..
 Hydro potential is 50,000 MW in
which 4,800 developed over the 50
years.
 Recoverable potential in micro
hydropower (MHP) up to 100 kW,
is roughly estimated to be 300MW
on perennial water falls in northern
Pakistan.

6. • Largest and Strongest irrigation system is in Pakistan.
• The canal system has a huge hydropower potential
• In Pakistan, the system presently includes
three major reservoirs (Terbela, Mangla and Chashma dams)
and several other smaller ones,19 barrages/headworks, 12
link canals, 45 canal commands and 99,000 watercourses.
• 1 MW to 10 MW potential

8. • Pakistan has a potential to generate
over 2.324 million megawatts
electricity per annum through solar
• Pakistan being in the Sunny Belt and
is lucky to have long sunshine
hours and high insulation levels
and is ideally located to take
advantage of solar energy
technologies
• Presently, not enough work or
research being done on this
potential.
• The mean global irradiation falling
on horizontal surface is about 200-
250 watt per m2 per day.

9. • Balochistan province is particularly rich in solar
energy.
• It has an average daily global insulation of 19
to 20 MJ/m2 per day with annual mean sunshine
duration of 8 to 8.5 hours a day and these values
are among the highest in the world.
• 0.25% of Balochistan was covered with solar panels
with an efficiency of 20%, enough electricity would
be generated to cover all of Pakistani demand.
• 70% of the population lives in 50,000 villages that
are very far away from the national grid, according
to a SERC.

10. • Pakistan has a considerable potential
of wind energy in the coastal belt of
Sindh, Balochistan and as well as in the
desert areas of Punjab and Sindh.
• As per the collected data, the coastal belt
of Pakistan is blessed with a God gifted
wind corridor that is 60 km wide and 180
km long up to Hyderabad.
• This corridor has the exploitable
potential of 60,000 MW of electricity
generation through wind energy at Ghoro
~ Keti Bandar.
• It is estimated that more than 5000
villages can be electrified through wind
energy in Sindh, Balochistan and
Northern areas

12. • The requirement of
conducting feasibility study
is to install a wind power
systems.
• Birds collision or alteration
of their migration routes
• Noise impact
• Flickering
• Agriculture

13. • Biomass consist of growing plants or
the remains of growing things, it
includes trees, grasses, crops, agro
residues aquatics plants, animal
manure, etc. As sun is the source of
wood and all other biomass, wood
conforms to be a renewable source
of energy, which will be available as
long as the sun shines.
• Biogas, one of the most
significant types of biomass energy,
makes optimal utilization of the
valuable natural resource of dung.

14. • Pakistan has almost 3,000 MW power
generation potential in sugar industry
through biogas, but it is hardly
producing some 700MW.
• Pakistan has almost 159 million
animals that produce almost 652
million kilogram of manure daily from
cattle and buffalo only, which can be
used to generate 16.3 million-cubic-
meters biogas per day and 21 million
tones of bio fertilizer per year.
• A biogas unit of 10-cubic-meter size is
anticipated to save almost Rs92,062
per annum on account of conventional
fuels spent.

15. • Despite all the potentials indicated; I think more focus
should be given to renewable such as Solar, Biogas and
Wind energies.
• 7876 out of 40,000 of un-electrified villages cannot be
connected to the national gird for another 20 years due
to their distance from the national grid, due to lack of
technical and economical facilities available.
• Solar panels can be installed in individual villages,
according to their demands.
• Those villages which have more manure produced can
be benefited from biogas plants; more jobs would also
be created for people.

16. 1. Renewable technologies are considered as
clean sources of energy and optimal use of
these resources decreases environmental
impacts, produces minimum secondary waste
and are sustainable based on the current and
future economic and social needs.
