Energy Crisis

Energy Crisis 

Pakistan is currently facing up to 18 hours of electricity a day. The energy system needed, is complete with expulsion. Tens of thousands have lost their jobs, their businesses, and our daily lives have become miserable. Technical issues. If it will be discussed in the drawing board instead of using it. The most important decisions about energy projects should be based on national interests rather than political and personal benefits.

Pakistan is one of the most populous, geographically and strategically important countries in South Asia. Pakistan has been suffering from energy problems since the last four years.

In other words, these costs make up 53 percent of our total exports and are a huge burden on the goods we buy from other countries. Our need for hot water is so large that we cannot simply leak it and move visibly to water power.

Instead of using oil and gas, which are both expensive and have global competitive prices, we can move on to using coal. Thar coal is an important source of electricity for reasonable costs. We must ask media to make consumers aware of electricity use only when needed.

Summarize

Pakistan's severe energy crisis poses a serious threat to its weak economy and volatile national security environment. The country’s energy problems are far more complex and complex, based on less rule and political will than pure supply. This is due to (1) the absence of a comprehensive integrated strategy, which has resulted in increased wars and coordination, (2) insufficient revenue to support the energy generation and infrastructure, due to is the low flow of Pakistan’s tight economy and high levels. extraordinary tax, and (3) the refusal of management to implement changes in political desire to situation.

Solving Pakistan’s energy crisis will therefore require political will, additional funding, and new sources of power. Since the country does not have a significant domestic source of revenue, opportunities exist for international donors to invest in energy recovery. The United States has already provided more energy assistance to Pakistan, with Congress releasing nearly $ 300 million in new energy assistance last summer alone. However, the original energy solution should not be easily disrupted, and the Pakistani government should explore the defense of Thar and other sources of energy, among other options.

Policy Impact

  • This will result in fewer orders quickly and efficiently and requires no energy sector.

  • Fix A short-term decision that can lead to an emergency is to apply for a new loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). However, because the IMF may impose more stringent political requirements, Islamabad is unlikely to make such a request until the spring election.

  • Re-tax reform is necessary and should be designed to provide more income to Islamabad problem energy.

  • Pakistan can first better diversify its energy mix by importing clean coal, which is often cheaper than imported oil and gas.

  • Pakistan will not be able to implement the reform needed to solve its energy crisis unless the people of Pakistan choose spring leaders who truly want to serve the interests of their country.

The Energy Crisis of Pakistan and its Issues

Pakistan faces a number of issues due to its energy problems

  • Unemployment is a major issue. Due to the availability of electricity many industries have been forced to fire them. Pakistan’s unemployment rate is 5.90% in 2016 -2017. Many people lost their jobs. This ultimately increases poverty.
  • Other causes of this huge problem are due to the reliance on fossil fuels, natural gas imported from other countries. In indigenous technology, resources have not been used for energy production
  • The population of Pakistan has increased over the past 20 years on the demand for energy. No new approaches have been adopted to meet the growing population needs. each unit and each unit use electricity. At the time the new infrastructure is built for rapid production of electricity generation. But in Pakistan there is a development related to a new building. So, the production is slow and uses many sources of electricity. Pakistan relies heavily on imported fossil fuels that produce 1 unit of 12-14 rupees for electricity, and electricity generates 1 unit per rupee.
  • The fact of the land shows that there are many barriers to transit, prostitution in oil fields, inadequate distribution, poor planning, and poor management, and paying for all of these factors leads to theft of the energy supply chain. Political disputes exist on any issue that causes delays in policy making. There are many other factors that can contribute to the cause of energy problems in the country. Therefore, there are many factors that cannot be generalized. The Renewable Energy System of Pakistan was introduced in 2006. This policy has great incentives to allow investment to be made to other sources of energy.
Pakistan has great potential to produce other powers

  • Solar energy is a safe and easy way to adopt it. Pakistanis have a lot of sun throughout the year. In the industry, the public, the private sector can be easily converted to solar energy for electricity. This will reduce the production cost of power. It is used in low dose in Pakistan at family level. But this needs to be implemented more widely
  • Wind turbines can be used to produce electricity. The coast near Karachi is the best place for wind turbines. This method is very cheap. Production costs are much lower than other methods. No heavy machinery and infrastructure are needed. Recently some measures have been taken by the government to ensure a 5% share of the national wind generation by 2030.
  • Additional water dams are the demand of the country in terms of power and access to water. The bhasha diamond and Mohmand Dam are needed for today and the future of Pakistan. These structures will ensure water for electricity generation, agriculture and domestic use among others while maintaining 29 MAF of water per annum. 
The Future of Energy

To be a leader in the renewable energy industry, Pakistan must follow the Indian experience, where the government has built a chain of Indian Institute of Technology (IITs). These institutions have helped India predict the future and produce high-quality graduates.

Pakistan should undertake similar activities. This requires consistency and vision for the future of the country's leadership sector. The government must adopt a long-term plan to benefit these industries in the future. It could benefit from Chinese support and technical assistance, but achieving self-sufficiency should be its ultimate goal.

With its potential for solar and wind energy and a large number of youths, Pakistan can be a great home and hope for other developing countries in the world in the fight against climate change. Maybe that is Naya Pakistan (New Pakistan) Prime Minister Imran Khan should promise the nation.

Energy Efficiency and Energy Production

Energy performance (doing many tasks with less energy, according to Berkeley physicist Richard Muller) is "cheaper." It doesn't cost much. The McKinsey & Company report found that the savings made from energy storage and efficiency could be enough to pay for projects such as solar expansion from solar energy and solar energy installations.

In general, debates on energy efficiency often determine their ability to reduce energy use, reduce costs, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It is worth investigating if this day will work in developing Pakistan.

Like any emerging economy, Pakistan is focusing on reducing and reducing poverty, and the additional goods and services needed to produce those gains. Many business, infrastructure, housing, education, and health services require a lot of energy. Fortunately, the very idea of   energy is still underestimated, in part, as it is seen as a tool for reducing rather than expanding consumption and production. As Pakistan's focus remains on growth, and the nation is seen as central to its future, energy efficiency is being denied to slowing growth.

In fact, presenting energy efficiency as “less and less” than that of other developed countries, seems to be lost in translation to countries like Pakistan. Therefore, changes in energy efficiency are needed to better promote energy efficiency in a way that integrates such initiatives to improve living standards and prosperity. Another common thread that includes energy production is to be argued that, the production of more goods and services of the same energy. As opposed to traditional energy strategies that focus only on production, energy production technologies focus on creating more and more similar products.

Conclusions

However, energy production policy and its subsequent implementation cannot be seen as empty. Careful analysis of the relevant institutions should be undertaken to develop the desired strategic and strategic goals. In this regard, the Pakistani government should play an important role not only to ensure political stability and renewal of the institution but also to guarantee peace and security in the region.

There are short steps that Pakistan can take. One must formally apply for new loans International Monetary Fund (IMF) to provide urgent financial and economic badly needed to finance the resolution of the energy crisis. However, given that the IMF is likely to impose more stringent policy requirements, including the termination of some of Islamabad's infrastructure, it is unlikely to make such a request until this year's elections. Even if the next government follows up, another loan could easily be another short-term loan.

Above all, Pakistan should provide the needed immediate command and transparency in the energy sector and severe turmoil. A highly integrated and integrated department can best be achieved by integrating multiple energy-related agencies into one ministry. Establishing a strong agency will allow the Pakistani energy sector to enjoy a good coordination of planning, decision-making, and implementation. This also allows it to eliminate the reaction, reaction, and ad-hoc political environment characterized by the energy sector over the years. While such a change will indeed be difficult to achieve, the seeds are already planted. In the early 1980s, Pakistan experimented with establishing a coordinated system, but these efforts were removed due to power constraints. Today, some influential players in the energy field including policy makers have expressed their support for the revision of the concept. Following the establishment of a new institutional framework, Pakistan can move towards political change. This should include new assessment steps that not all eliminate, but in many cases, energy infrastructure. Tax reform is another inevitable and should be designed to give Islamabad more revenue not only to address the energy crisis but also to help poor Pakistanis who have suffered damage. face of benefits.

Pakistan should also make progress in terms of energy demand as it aims to reduce half of the 30% losses caused by distribution and transmission (a goal that will lead to the confusion of energy thieves). Both federal and provincial authorities should be vigilant in monitoring and repairing the essentials for each generation, distribution, and transmission facility to minimize flooding and other losses. Any effort to improve energy management will need to be achieved effectively by taking steps to control polluted water. Decades of water-efficient practices - including widespread irrigation and flood irrigation support - have helped to eliminate surface water tables and have forced farmers to spend excessive electricity on water wells to remove them ground water.
