Causes of Energy crisis in Pakistan

Causes of Energy crisis in Pakistan

In our blogs we've discussed in detail that why there are energy crisis in Pakistan, what are the factors to it what steps have been taken in order to overcome all these crises and what are the resources and how we’re using them.

To dig down the reasons to find who is responsible for this entire crisis in Pakistan, we might come across different aspects. The responsible ones are not only the government but also the people they are governing. Their have been lack of knowledge for overcoming this crisis.

Ex- Government of Pakistan was working on new projects to overcome the emerging demands of electricity and after their failure there was huge amount of shortfall in the electricity.

The major reason to see how developed countries have maintained their standard in this regard is that they put control on everything. There proportion was balanced whether you took their population, working hours and market hours. If you look at China, they have law of having only two children and their working hours might be tough but they have put control on the time schedule of opening stores for shopping. Everything has been done in day light and stores at night are close at early timings to avoid the wastage of electricity. If we look at Pakistan, we've no proper working hours, every single thing is imbalanced. There has been lack of awareness in people to overcome this problem. The population in Pakistan is increasing day by day and people have no resources or not enough resources for feeding their family. If we admire west in this regard then we have to look upon their policies too and then we've to adapt them too.

The living standard of people has been raised. To my belief, there are only two classes in Pakistan; Rich and the Poor’s one. One who is rich is extremely rich and the poor ones have crossed even the line of poverty. There is no upper middle class and lower middle class and if there are then these peoples are suffering hard to spend their livelihood peacefully.

Another aspect to the causes of energy crisis in Pakistan is the industrial development and expansion of houses. Daily base transportation has also been increased due to which production of electricity has been getting not enough resources to fulfill its demands.

Looking at the shortfalls of electricity, Government of Pakistan cannot waste time on having failure projects and the major reason to why project fails is that there has been lack of planning to perform these projects successfully. In order to have successful projects, proper planning needs to be done to overcome this crisis.

The demand is much bigger than the developed projects. Currently in Pakistan there is 20,000 MW need against the production of 11,500 MW.

Dependency on non-renewable resources is the biggest failure. The prices of these resources changes in the international market regularly due to which there is destabilization in the expenditures of electricity production in Pakistan.

Uses of renewable resources will help Pakistan to overcome this major shortfall quickly.
