Topic
Indicate current energy resources and give reasons why
Pakistan may need alternative energy sources in future ?

Current Energy scenario of Pakistan

Energy crisis owing to ever increasing demand and supply gap
Total Annual Energy Requirement: 64.73 million TOE of energy supplies
during FY12
Primary Source of Energy:
Imported crude oil and gas meet approx. 80% of annual energy needs
Oil import bill approximately US$ 15 billion in FY13
According to the The Ministry of Water and Power, as of June, 2016 the
electricity statistics showed:
Demand: 20,000 MW Generation: 15,000MW Shortfall: 5000MW

 For last six year, average annual growth rate for energy consumption is
2.10% . This surplus energy gap is being met by importing more Oil & Gas
sources rather than investing in alternative energy sources
Due to Lack of effective governing bodies & ineffective energy policies
Pakistan have not been able to implement renewable energy resources as an
alternative energy source at an appreciable scale
Different power sources being utilized: (as of June 2016)
Thermal (Coal, Oil & Gas):
~10,000 MW
Hydropower:
~5000 MW
Nuclear :
~1000 MW
Solar :
~400 MW
Wind:
~180 MW
Others :
~20 MW

Huge Potential for biomass as
energy source
About 54,888 tons of waste is being
generated daily
The figure reaches up to 20,034,120
tons annually
Approximately 225,000 tons of crop
residues and over 1 million tons of
animal manure are produced daily.

Conclusion
In the light of the discussion above, it can be concluded that
Pakistan is in a strong need for energy sources to meet its ever-growing
energy demand. This will not only help to meet energy requirements but
also contribute to socio-economic stability
Alternative energy sources, especially renewables must be considered for
meeting future energy requirements of Pakistan due to their clean,
abundant and untapped potential
Renewables can progressively replace conventional capacity and cover most
of the energy demand of Pakistan by 2050, provided that this opportunity is
fully integrated in the energy policy
