A review of national energy resources shows that the future development and use of resources for power generation will be strongly influenced by the necessity to control environmental pollution. Currently, power generation capacity from all resources is 37,261MW, whereas the demand for electricity continues to grow fast. It is projected to have an installed cumulative power generation capacity of 79,449MW by the year 2040, according to the government plans.
It is heartening that total foreseeable energy resources will easily meet anticipated projected requirements for a considerable time. Pakistan has huge deposits of coal, and abundant and inexhaustible resources for hydropower and renewable energy like solar and wind power. Only the known recoverable resources of liquid hydrocarbons and natural gas appear at this time to fall short of anticipated requirements, which at present are being met through imported sources.
