5. conclusion

In times of such technological advancement, energy has become the only standing lifeline for a nation to rely
upon. Energy is deemed to be the right hand of any developing nation. A country at the center stage of attention
since the 9/11 attacks, Pakistan has had its share of great demise with regards to solving their energy crisis, a
crisis that was born and bred soon after their partition from India in 1947. For Pakistan and for any other nation,
energy is the fuel that powers that imperative economic engine. It is the only pushing force that
allows the industrial and agricultural sector to move forward or at the same time, equally backward.

Pakistan's social sector has collapsed further and formed a crater deeper than ever only because their energy
consumption per capita has decreased to an all-time low. Many governments have come and gone by all
promising to give the energy sector a new start, however to the unfortunate fate of the citizens of Pakistan,
a formidable sketch to diminish the menace of the energy crisis has always been far away from reality. The
energy crisis has created a distortion in every field of life in Pakistan. Industries (Textile, Automotive e.t.c) and
other major projects are going to close. Unemployment has increased s it never before. furthermore, Inflation
rate has reached to a maximum. These are the major factors in the destabilization of the economy of Pakistan.
Pakistan's energy sector constitutes mainly of oil, natural gas and HNP power where the contribution is listed as
43% usage of oil, 38% natural gas and 10% of HNP. The real shame that grinds Pakistan is that although they
have the fourth largest coal reserves in the world they are still seen importing over 2.5 million tones on
an annual basis.
