Also referred to energy mix of Pakistan in the intro. In the conclusion emphasized that electricity problem can be immediately solved because we have 20,000MW installed capacity while average annual demand is only 14,000MW.

never ask someone else whether you will pass or not because you never know the mind of the examiner and yes your outline has covered almost all the facets of the topic so it would yield you good marks.

Paper was indeed Easier. Now, it all depends on how you have justified the topic and what impression you have made in Checker's Mind.
May Allah Bless you all.
