Thanks To Almighty Allah Who gave me Courage and Willpower to complete the task I have been given.
Natural gas is believed by many to be the most important energy source for the future. Gas is main resource in pakistan 50% of the countrys energy is provided by natural gas. Energy is the most important sources for economic growth of a country. Unfortunately Pakistan has to face a major energy crisis in Natural gas, Power and Oil in next two to three years.
The total power production of the country is about 19,500 MW and the total consumer demand is around 23,500 MW, which means that Pakistan is facing a shortfall of 4000 MW. At present electricity is generated by thermal, hydel and nuclear modes
Objectives of my Research
The main objective of my research is to find out either the consumption of air conditioners of pak is responsible for load shedding or growth in industrial sector in pak is responsible for load shedding. To find out the past trend of electricity consumption and present and future situation is also objective of my research
factors
We are dependent on oil as the prices of oil increases in Pakistan then it will affect the whole economy and prices will increases this is fact.
Recommendation ( AVINASH)
Govt is trying to best level to produced the electricity thats why they start many projects but specially they are working on Thermal Power project and THAR COAL project once they completed the project then we pay the cost of electricity cheaper than now we are paying through natural gas and one of the biggest benefit is that the problem of shortage of electricity so we can fulfill the requirement.

Supply-Demand Gap
Power shortfall jumps to 4,800 megawatts (APRIL 12, 2012) The power crisis in the country has further deepened as on Wednesday shortfall again jumped to 4,800 MW during the last 24 hours. According to the daily load management report, the total generation was recorded as 10,326 MW against the demand of 15,126 MW during the said period. The hydel generation stood at 2792 MW, WAPDA thermal 1691 MW and IPPs 5,843. As much as 670 MW electricity was supplied to Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC), the report further said.

Due to lack of indigenous natural gas shortages, reliance on expensive imported RFO has increased and exacerbated Circular Debt problem
If Coal had been used instead of RFO to make up for indigenous natural gas shortage, it would have reduced energy import bill by USD 600 M and direct saving of USD 280 M to electricity consumers 50% reduction in use of RFO for power generation would reduce Pakistans energy import bill by USD 900 M and benefit electricity consumers by USD 400 M

Pakistans Power Generation Capacity in 2010 PAKISTAN
A third natural gas pipeline option that has been discussed is a line from Turkmenistan to Pakistan via Afghanistan. Pakistan faces various hurdles with this option, which include the security situation in Afghanistan and the price.
Recommendations (ALMAS)
In addition I recommend that Pakistan focus on building its energy in the future by: Hydro-electricity This is because the cost of production of hydro electricity is cheapest course of energy. Further more in conditions of drought and floods building of dams help agricultural sector of Pakistan withstand extreme conditions. Indigenous coal This is because it will save us a great deal of foreign exchange by utilizing our countries own resources and not importing. Our generation mix will be less affected by rising fuel prices in the international oil market. Renewable Resources As it provides alternative source of energy and will help lower the cost of production of energy generation so that all sectors of Pakistan enjoy the benefits of energy and our economy prosper. Gas As it is cleaner and efficient to use and will not harm the plants and the environment as compared to the residual furnace oil. It is also cheaper than RFO Encouraging Foreign Investment By bringing in private and foreign investment in our energy sector, it will become self-sustainable and comes out of energy crises, It will also help build in confidence of the local investors. RFO To increase the range of the generation mix, not relying on any one of the factor of production ,to sustain and bear any shocks in the energy generation. Nuclear As it is most dangerous to handle so in last option it must be used, however should be used so that generation mix has a many ways of generation electricity.
