Energy Crisis in Pakistan Energy has played a far more important role in
human affairs than merely as a source of light, heat or motion. It is still destined to play a pivotal role in the development of three-fourth of mankind; the great majority of which is barely subsisting the people who have been stamped with misery and their future is bleaked with despair. One of the important indicators of their underdevelopment is the highly inequitable distribution 6f energy use.
Energy is that ability by which non-living bodies work like living bodies. So in any sector, whether it is domestic, industrial or agricultural, the economic prosperity demands a strong infrastructure and energy is the most: vital ingredient of this infrastructure.
Pakistan is a developing country and is, in fact, on the lower rank of the development ladder with a literacy rate of 58 percent, an average life expectancy of 61 years and per capita income a little over 1190- U.S Dollars J A large majority of population is- without access to safe drinking water. The major cause of its backwardness is that it has not enough energy resources to meet its energy demand.
Pakistan’s low level of developmental and industrialization is in large part due to this low level of energy resources. So large energy import dependence^ is due to its poor energy resources base. The energy, demand is growing but the sources are inadequate for future development and growth. These are the problems and challenges, which have to be met in future.
Every year, the demand is increasing at the rate of 13 percent and production is increasing at the rate of only 7 percent. At present, WAPDA is producing electricity from' hydel and thermal units with the ratio of 48.50 percent and 52.50 percent, respectively.
Any energy crisis is a great hurdle in the supply of energy resources to an economy. The energy crisis is caused by various factors, first of all; the gap between supply and demand is the biggest obstacle. Currently 22,000 megawatts of electricity is being produced which is nearly only 87% of the nation’s demand. despair.
