Pakistan is facing energy crisis

The energy is believed to be the backbone of any economy and the most important component of the socio-economic growth of the country. There has been a huge increase in energy demand as a result of industrial development and population growth, Rawalpindi Board SSC Result 2013 compared with the increase in energy production. The energy supply is therefore much less than the actual demand, resultantly the crisis came.

Pakistan's energy infrastructure is not well developed, and it is considered to be underdeveloped and poorly managed. The country is currently facing a serious energy crisis. Despite strong economic growth and rising energy demand over the last decade, no serious efforts have been made to install new generation capacity. Moreover, the rapid growth in demand, BISE Rawalpindi Board 10^th Class Result 2013 the transmission loss due to outdated infrastructure, power theft, and seasonal reduction in the availability of hydropower has worsened the situation. Thus, the demand exceeds the supply, and, therefore, load shedding is a common phenomenon through consumption.

The demand for energy has been increased over the years. The increase in population, industrial and agricultural growth and higher transportation are some of the reasons for the increase in demand.

Pakistan has broader capabilities enable energy, but due to the lack of integrated / proactive planning, very less amount of power plant has been installed to meet the requirements of futuristic. Resultantly, over the years, 10^th Class Result 2013 BISE Rawalpindi the gap between demand and supply of energy has increased dramatically and is now against the demand of 20,000 MW, we have about 11 500 MW.

Energy mix in Pakistan is quite an imbalance in comparison to other countries, with a greater reliance on non-renewable resources of gas (43.7%) and oil (29% - most of which is imported). Prices of petroleum products / crude oil fluctuate in the current Afro-Arab political crisis; oil prices are likely to increase manifold, oil prices affecting Pakistan.

Failure to use large indigenous energy resources is also one of the reasons. Pakistan has one of the largest coal deposits "Tar" with reserves of over 175 billion tons. This coal can be used for electricity production and chemical fertilizers.

Pakistan has the potential to generate hydro 41,000 MW to 45,000 MW, however; only 6555 MW is being generated by this important renewable resource. This capacity can be increased through the construction of four large hydropower is “Kalabagh dam" with 3,600 MW of generating capacity, "Bhasha dam" with 4,500 MW of generating capacity, BISE Gujranwala Board Matric Result 2013 "Bunji dam" with 5400 MW of generating capacity, and "Das dam" with 3,800 MW of generating capacity. Moreover, many small and medium-sized power plants can be installed on the rivers and canals to increase the total power available to the national grid.
