What's new

Energy Projects...Updates

- Hydroelectric: The dam hetrick on Indus along KKH will generate 13GW cheapest but at highly inefficient (35-40%) rates, it will be more expensive for us to fulfill that gap especially in winters.

- Nuclear: As nuclear is the only cheaper and highly efficient (90-95%) solution for our problems, I think the government should start investing more in it. They even have headroom for higher generation like KANUPP-2 & 3 can do up to 1.2GW. Currently they are building 2 at Karachi (2x1GW) and 1 at Chashma (1x300MW) with 3x1GW planned in same ratio at same places. Fuel can be sourced through China.

- Coal - Though this is cheap and plentiful with not much dependence on external sourcing, it is highly toxic. China is reducing its electricity generation through coal, thus it seems they are transferring it to us :P

- Gas - This will definitely depend on the Iran-Pakisan Gas pipeline project as sucking out gas supply will only increase the demand-supply gap. That's just like trading one problem with one bigger problem. Our elites can use electricity for everything but middle and lower class people (not the homeless) can only afford a combination of both.

- Solar+Hydro (Salt based) - These could be considered as an alternative to other expensive sources as its best of both worlds, you get clean energy at relatively cheap rates. As its a relatively new technology, it is still being actively refined thus it may become cheaper than gas in the future.

- Fossil Fuels - No. We should have a plan to scrap these after CPEC starts to generate surplus power.

- Wind / Solar - Never. We are not a first world country which has obligations towards the well being of the planet and thus have to sacrifice our budget over generating clean and extremely expensive energy. They are only viable for small grids for villages at best.
