Energy Crisis in

PakistanPakistan is facing theserious Energy Crisis atthis time. Pakistan as third

world developing countryaffected a lot by thisEnergy Crisis in the world.The major issue is electriccrisis, which is now knownin the people as loadshedding. Pakistan smallmanufacturing markets areworst affected by the riseof energy prices.



Manufacturing industries utilize at least 33%production cost in terms of energy prices. Anincrease of energy cost will affect their production

cost and will force the manufacturers that toreduce the labor cost .our cottage industry is onhis last breaths. Our most important industry³textile industry´ is in trouble.



Power looms are going to beclosed. Not only is our industrialsector is suffering but also

peoples are passing sleeplessnights and useless job timings.Peoples have to face 12 to 18

hours load shedding.



They are being dismissing from their jobs.

Investors do not want to stay in Pakistan.Businessmen are disappointed according

to them they have lost customer.



Causes of Energy Crisis in

PakistanIn Pakistan, the causes of Energy Crisis or Electric

Crisis are that,

No water in dams:

We have low water levels in our dams, which is the sourcehydroelectric power. Indiastops our river water. Indiahas constructed baglehar damon river chenab by which our water level is decreasing.Recently 12 units from theterbaila dams closed due tolow water level.



AGING OF GENERATION

EQUIPMENTS:

Another cause is the aging of thegenerating equipment, which could not

develop the electricity as per the design

re uirement.



INCREASING COST OF FUEL:

The cost of fuel has increased. It means the generation from

thermal units are costing exorbitant price. WAPDA and KESC

when purchasing electricity on higher cost are not eager to keep

on selling the electricity on loss. Therefore they do not move on

general complain of load shedding.



INABILITY OF WAPDA ANDKESC:

Wapda and KESC are twogeneration and dispatch unitsin Pakistan. It is fact that theyhave poor service and are notable to complete with energyrequirement. Private sector should be given chance andshould be allowed to installpower plant and settle theelectricity to consumers.



To overcome this shortage We are here

going to present some suggestions and

Government efforts

Solution



Solar Energy

Solar energy is energy derived from the sun in a form of ultra-violet rays. Pakistan has the great gift of God ³sunlight´. It should be installed in hottest areas of Pakistanlike sibi, jacobabad. It should also be installed on townlevels in Karachi where there is much shortage of Electricity. Cottage industry and power looms can be run

on this energy.



Ocean as a source of Energy

The water at the surface of an ocean gets heated by the

heat of the sun and attains a higher temperature thanthe colder water at deeper levels in the ocean. So,

there is always a temperature difference between the

water "at the surface of ocean" and "at deeper levels."

At many places in the ocean, this difference intemperatures of water is up to 20oC. The energy

available due to the difference in the temperature of

water at the surface of the ocean and at deeper levels

is called ocean thermal energy (OTE). The oceanthermal energy can be converted into "usable form" of

energy like electricity. It could be beneficial in future

for Pakistan. Industries on Indus delta can use this

energy.



Hydel EnergyWater flowing in the rivers has kinetic energy, which isused to drive the turbine and produce electricity thepower generated as Hydel Energy. Dams and run of river projects are known, as source. This is the cheapest

source of electricity and is used as major source of electricity in Pakistan. Although we cannot build, bigdams but we should construct the small dams for Industrial sector. It is necessary because of the Indusbasin treaty violence by India.



Nuclear EnergyEnergy is produced by emission of radiation from

the nucleus of atom. Pakistan is in need of

energy very badly and urgently. Pakistan should

look for nuclear energy possibilities. Pakistan isone of seven countries in the world who has an

indigenous capability to operate the nuclear

power plant for last forty years. Government

should work on the development on this source.



Wind EnergyThe power, which isproduce through the

energy in winds, iscalled wind energy.Pakistan is blessed witha large resource of windcorridor. According to

wind energy map of Pakistan a strong windcorridor is found atSindh coastal areas.Government should pay

attention in thisresource. Many projectsare in progress but weneed to take full benefitsby this resource.



ConclusionWe all know that our country is in critical condition and

we are looking for international aid. Therefore, it isnot easily possible for us to start any of theseprojects. There is only one way. A saying is ³nothing

endures but change.´ Heraclites (540 BC - 480 BC).If we want to get rid off this crisis, we have to changeour life style. We should definitely learn saving of energy. The unnecessary use of energy should bestopped. Unfortunately, we are adopting the luxurious

life style. We should lead a simple life. In last 10years, not a singles MW was added. Blame games,seminars, conferences, and events on energy issuesin Pakistan are not necessary as compare to dosome thing practical.
