Özet

The massive inadequacy of energy because of overwhelming dependence on imported fuels has turned into an essential barrier to socio-financial progression in Pakistan. This illustration makes dissemination in adjacent gas costs and limits possibilities in the present state of affairs of new modern technology. The current opening between the call for and creation of energy in Pakistan is about 5000- 8000 MW with a standard augmentation of 68 % as per annum. Except for irrigation and water supply, water resources are additionally used to provide power. Nationwide water sources have well off the potential for hydropower age, evaluated as 60000 MW, which might be monetarily tackled. Out of this broad hydropower capacity, 11 % has been developed up until now. Hydropower is the top of the line to be had a choice in the current situation of addressing difficulties of anticipated future quality needs of our nation as it is far economical, sustainable and indigenous, therefore can be the prevalent supply of power. In this paper, we are analyzing the contribution of hydropower, which can be more than 40% and at the same time reducing the share of oil and gas from 64% to 11.8%, which is favorable for the sustainable development of Pakistan.
