The power generation potential of Pakistan through indigenous energy resources Pakistan Can Generate 3400000MW power.
Pakistan Can Generate 3400000MW Power, The power generation potential of Pakistan through indigenous energy resources is estimated to be approximately 3400000MW. According to a joint report on Overview of Pakistan’s Power Sector and its Future Outlook, compiled by various organizations including NUST Energy Center, PCI, APCEA, CSAIL, and SDPI, Pakistan’s power potential through indigenous energy resources for Hydro Power is estimated at 60,000MW, Wind Power 346,000MW, Solar Power 2,900,000MW, Bagasse Cogeneration 2,000MW, and Coal Power 100,000MW. Hydro resources are mainly located in the northern parts of the country, from which the mighty Indus river starts and other rivers and tributaries join this river. Indigenous coal resources are present in Thar in Sindh Province. The wind and solar resources are mainly located in Balochistan, Sindh, and areas in Southern Punjab.The above-indicated hydropower may be developed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, Punjab, and Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJ&K).
Indus River 39,717MW, Jhelum River 5,624MW, Swat River 1,803MW, Kunhar River 1,480MW, Kandiah River 1,006MW, Punch River 462MW, and Other Rivers 9,704MW Pakistan is among the most fortunate countries that receive plenty of sunshine throughout the year. Pakistan Can Generate 3400000MW Power, The GoP is envisaging to development of more than 7,000MW of solar PV projects by 2030. The potential of wind power in Pakistan is estimated to be around 346,000MW. It is anticipated that, if properly exploited, Pakistan’s coal resources may generate more than 100,000MW of electricity over the next 30 years. According to rough estimates, the total coal resources of Pakistan are more than 185 billion tons.
