Hydropower Energy Flowing water creates energy that can be stored in dams and turned
into electricity using turbines and generators. Most important and widely-used renewable source of energy.
Nuclear Power
• Electricity is produced using heat from nuclear reactions.
• Pakistan has around 30 thousand metric tons of uranium (308).
• Pakistan has two nuclear reactors of 425 MW power.
• It is only 2.4 % of the electricity production.
Solar Energy• Solar power is the conversion of
sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaic (PV).
• Highly advanced countries like USA, Germany, France, China, Japan etc. have Solar Power Plants to produce electricity
Windmill* It is a type of engine
*Uses wind to make energy
*The blades of the windmill are turned by the wind which in turn run turbines and generator to generate electricity
Geothermal Energy
*Uses geothermal energy
*Geothermal electricity generation is currently used in 24 countries
*The earth’s heat content is about joules
Effect On Students
Future belongs to students
Load Shedding cause lack of attention on studies
Failure in Exams
Impact on Industry
Industries are back bone of the country
Products are not delivered on time
Increase in unemployment
Traders are moving out
Effect on Medical field
Loss of many souls
Difficult to provide emergency treatment
