Energy Policies of Pakistan; A Comparative Analysis (1994-2013)
Abstract
Energy has got significant political concern for the stability of a country. Despite huge indigenous potential and geographical significance Pakistan showed little interests in exploiting its own energy resources to minimize energy crisis. There is a huge gap between demand and supply of energy that has increased the use of imported oil for energy generation in Pakistan. The research study focuses on energy policies of Pakistan since 1994, resulting in energy crisis. Qualitative approach was employed to construct the research design. The results indicate that the use of indigenous energy resources both renewable and nonrenewable would minimize the prevailing energy crisis in Pakistan. So it is concluded that future of energy mix exists, but serious efforts are required to effectively make use of renewable and non-renewable energy source only through the implementation of sound and effective policies.
