How can Pakistan Come Out of the Energy Crisis?

The government of Pakistan has advised shops and markets to close by 9:00 pm as part of its energy conservation efforts. But will it actually help in completing the energy shortfall? Energy and Environment Consultant, Qaiser Aijaz, explains the energy crisis and how it can be overcome.

Renewable energy
Solar Thermal plants. Pakistan has the most salt in the world.

Biogas plants. Pakistan has one of the highest number of cattle to human population ratio.

It can also be done from sewage waste sludge.

China is a close friend who should help with cheaper Solar panels!

Many other renewable options are available.

However the govt has made deals with oil and gas companies for many years to come.

They will never suggest such alternatives.

daylight saving has only one problem, our uneducated awaam keeps juggling with "naya time" and "purana time"

MA great, nice to see you talking about energy issues of Pakistan. Keep it up.

Without getting into complex terminology please do few simple things.1- Make Kalabagh dam (those who can glue 18 different parties for regime change operation, can very easily convince these goons to develop consensus on kalabagh)
2- Use the best available solar irradiation for solar thermal energy.U.S. has developed SEG.Modal and Spain has developed ANDASOL. Not a complicated tech.
3- use the air power available at our 1000 km. long coastline to harness energy through wind mills.
4- Ask china to invest into manufacturing of solar panels in Pakistan.
5- pay attention to develop our local coal reservoirs.
6- don't forget our canal system's potential to produce electricity.
7- invest more in oil and gas exploration.
8- Pay attention to your distribution system i.e. line losses theft and worn out equipment.
to me these are the basics we need to do.

very good journalism. keep up the good work. but please show the other side narrative also .

[aamirjaveed]

Good Sir, well narrated and depicted...

[AM-jrlg]

One thing is clear that Pakistan does not have a will to develop and deliver. It’s a cultural problem. You guys are stuck and confuse among being modern or follow Islam.

[salimtariq]

Daylight saving was most likely tried during BB government.

[salimtariq]

Coal energy might be best solution. Half of energy created in the US is from coal. Check it out.
