Introduction:
An energy crisis is any great shortfall in the supply of energy to economy. Importance of energy in a country’s development can be inferred from the fact that economic development of a country is measured in terms of its energy consumption. So energy fuels the economy and its shortage curbs growth. In Pakistan per capita energy consumption is 0.49 TOE(Tones of oil equivalent),Which is significantly lower than the world average of 1.78. This reflects country’s level of development. Pakistan’s energy sector is in crisis. Its problems seem insurmountable. Power outages of upto 18 hours a day disrupt the lives of the people and threaten the economy in an unprecedented way.
