摘要
In this review the energy potential of Pakistan from hydro, coal, wind, solar and nuclear sources has been discussed. The new projects that are being commissioned on coal, wind, solar, hydel and nuclear-based technologies have also been mentioned. The review has also explored the future prospects of the country's energy requirements. Pakistan has potential to produce 100,000 MW of electricity from Thar coal for 20 years, 56,000 MW of hydroelectricity, 150,000 MW of wind energy and similar to 50,000 MW from solar sources. The coal-fired power generation is expected to 11,500MW in period 2017-2019. The country is moving in the right direction to cater its energy needs. However, there is a need to find local and foreign investment in the country to meet high energy demands in the country in future.
