1. Energy Resources in Pakistan An Overview of Energy Sector and Its Future Prospects

2. Introduction to Energy Resources in Pakistan • Pakistan's energy sector faces a growing demand-supply gap. • The country relies on both conventional and non-conventional energy resources. • Addressing energy deficits is crucial for economic growth.

3. Types of Energy Resources • Conventional Energy Resources: - Fossil Fuels (Coal, Oil, Natural Gas) - Hydro Power • Non-Conventional Energy Resources: - Solar Energy - Wind Energy - Biomass - Nuclear Energy

4. Current Energy Mix in Pakistan • The energy supply in Pakistan is dominated by fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas). • Hydropower is the largest renewable energy source. • Solar and wind energy are underutilized but growing. • The government aims to increase renewable energy share in the near future.

5. Challenges in the Energy Sector • Energy Deficit and Load Shedding: - Pakistan has faced long-term energy shortages, impacting industries and daily life. • Energy Pricing and Subsidies: - High energy costs and reliance on subsidies cause inefficiency. • Infrastructure and Inefficiency: - Aging infrastructure and transmission losses affect energy delivery.

6. Government Policies and Initiatives • National Energy Policy: - Policies aimed at bridging the demand-supply gap. • Role of NEPRA: - Regulates the electricity market and ensures transparency. • CPEC Energy Projects: - Investments in coal, hydro, and renewable energy sectors.

7. Future Prospects • Renewable Energy Growth: - Pakistan has immense potential in solar and wind energy. • Policy Reforms: - Strategic policy changes and investment in infrastructure can improve the energy mix. • Energy Sustainability: - Long-term focus on sustainable energy sources is critical for future economic growth.
