Probleum is who ever in power decides the fate of electricity generation and for last 4 decades they are using it a tool for election campaign
He is right. I told u loadshedding can be finished in just 6 hours. BUT are u willing to pay $$$? This is the way our reserves touched 21B bcz we are saving $$$ and for long term we are building sustainable energy sources. This the best way for removing load shedding and bringing cheap and clean energy while saving money.
Demand will keep rising
There was never load shedding during those times... ; it was rare and usually happened for 1 hour a week.You guys really need better administrators, be it civilian or military. Found this on twitter yesterday.
Where does the natural gas come from? The second largest gas reserves are in Iran next door. They have even been built gas pipe to the border but you know American pressure has put that project into deep freeze. The other source is Turkmenistan which is where US would prefer the gas being sourced from but that takes the route through Afghanistan. Gas pipes, Taliban and bombs don't mix too well. So that is also in deep freeze.
the prime minister in swat rally said that there will be less load shedding in 2018 so there is no eliminating. that slogan during election 2013 was just to make the nation fool again.

The domestic gas supply struggles to service demand as it is already. No no major gas fields have been discovered and old ones will slowly start running out. Thee is no high quality coal but lots of poor quality coal with high water content and thus is expensive to mine, process and fire. That said some Chinese company has decided to have a try and let us see if they can make some profit out of it without charging ridiculous rates.
All in all not good position to be in. The only major resource left is hydro power in the mountains. That requires lot of money and political willpower. The last time we had that was in 1960s when most of the dams that produce hydro power were built. Political willpower was provided by Ayub Khan and the money was provided by USA. Result Tarbela, Warsak, Mangla dams went up.
Today there is lack of political willpower and US is not as keen on helping out as it was during Ayub Khan/Lyndon B Johnson era. You might ask what about Saudia Arabia and rest of the oily Arabs. Well that is just for show and for creating radicals.
This never made it to Pakistan. Gas pipe from Iran.
True. That is where things are headed for now. That said this is more of expensive option. But given lack of choice this is the only option until the dams are built which have 10-15 years gestation period if not longer in Pakistan.
Come onnnnnnnnnnn
2018
Good point.
