An energy crisis is any great shortfall (or price rise) inthe supply of energy resources to an economy. Itusually refers to the shortage of oil and additionally toelectricity or other natural resources.

What Is Energy Crises?

Electricity Crisis in Pakistan is one of the severe

challenges the country is facing today. Electricity isessential part of our daily life and its shortage hasseverely affected the economy and overall living of ours.Pakistan is currently facing up to 18 hours of electricity

outage a day, is expected to face more if not dealt within time.

Introduction

Current Energy Annual Shortfall goes even up to 5,000 MW Annual Increase in Energy Demand: 8-12%

Peak Demand: 13,000 18,000 MWTodays Energy Shortfall: 3,059 MW

Present demand of electricity in country in actual isabove 17,000 MW and will be 30,000 MW by year 2017Energy deficit was 3,000 to 5,000 MW .Hydropower Potential - 100,000 MW70 % of hydro potential lies in KPK

Pakistan has around 30 thousand metric tons ofuranium.

Pakistan has two nuclear reactors of 425 MW power. It is only 2.4 % of the electricity production.

Nuclear Energy


11/26

Pakistan produces only 0.2 % of its power through coal.The current coal production in Pakistan is only 3.5million tons per year.In Pakistan, there are plans to build only two 300 MWcoal-fired plants at Thar.

In any case, renewable resources of energy like solarenergy and wind energy should be explored.

Neighboring China is rapidly moving towardsalternative energy.Lack of transparency is the biggest hurdle in developmentof alternative energy.In one report, Nepra did not allow setting up of wind

mills in Sind as the power companies demanded 8 centsper unit and Nepra was adamant to pay Rs 7.5. This wasback in 2007. Now in 2011, Nepra is willing to pay 16cents per unit, to the same companies, how ironical?

Solar power (photovoltaic or thermal) is anotheralternative energy source option that is generally

considered feasible for tropical and equatorialcountries.Solar plants are generally used in caseswhere smaller amounts of power are required atremote locations.Solar power is also the most

expensive of all options making it less attractive.

Energy Crisis has, more or less, plagued all sectors ofPakistans machinery ranging from economy to

industry, agriculture to social life, inflation topoverty and it is hampering national progress in adrastic manner. Nonetheless, menace of energy crisiscan be overwhelmed by government throughmaking effective policies and its proactive

implementation. Simultaneously, it is theresponsibility of us, the people of Pakistan, to utilizethe available energy astutely and wisely to play ourdue role for progress of the country.
