Abstract
The energy crisis is the largest single drain on Pakistan’s economy. This crisis stems from a fuel
mix transformation initiated two decades ago, when power generation came to rely more on
imported furnace oil than hydropower. The resultant increased power generation costs, coupled
with the high proportion of line losses, have led to the need to increase tariffs, while causing
losses to power generation, transmission and distribution companies. This in turn has given rise
to the phenomenon of circular debt in the energy sector, whereby slippages in the payment of
bills (particularly on the part of public institutions) trigger a chain of delayed payments for
imported furnace oil, natural gas or other inputs to the thermal generation system, which in turn
hamper the operation of the power plants and result in less than optimum capacity usage. In
addition, the energy crisis is a significant drain on the government’s resources, with energy
subsidies taking up a substantial part of the federal budget. Under an International Monetary
Fund agreement of September 2013 the government is committed to clearing the circular debt,
adjusting tariffs to improve resource allocation and encourage conservation, and implementing
fuel policies aimed at ensuring natural gas supplies to power plants.

Problem Tree
A problem tree provides an overview of all the known causes and effects to an identified
problem. Which aims to get a clear and shared understanding of the issue.
Solution Tree
Reversing the problem tree, by replacing negative statements with positive ones, creates a
solution tree. A solution tree identifies means-end relationships as opposed to cause-effects.
(Community Sustainability Engagement, 2010)
Chapter # 01
Introduction
The energy crisis is the concern that the world’s demands on the limited natural resources that
are used to power industrial society are diminishing as the demand rises. These natural
resources are in limited supply. While they do occur naturally, it can take hundreds of thousands
of years to replenish the stores. The energy crisis is a broad and complex topic. Most people
don’t feel connected to its reality unless the price of gas at the pump goes up or there are lines at
the gas station. The energy crisis is something that is ongoing and getting worse, despite many
efforts. The reason for this is that there is not a broad understanding of the complex causes and
solutions for the energy crisis that will allow for an effort to happen that will resolve it.
(PUBLISHER, 2015)
Global Fault
The planet’s energy systems are interconnected, so the crisis and its spillover are being felt
across the world. The crunch has had knock-on effects across industries, obstructing silicon
production, disrupting food supplies and snarling supply chains. In the U.S., natural gas futures
have already more than doubled this year, before the peak demand that comes with the winter
cold. With 40% of the country’s electricity now generated by burning gas, those higher prices
will inevitably push up electricity and heating bills. In China, even as the government pushes to
ramp up renewable power, the industrial economy still relies heavily on fossil fuels: coal, gas
and oil. And when its factories started humming again during the pandemic rebound, the
country simply didn’t have enough fuel. Chinese manufacturing contracted in September for the
first time in 19 months, suggesting that soaring energy costs have become the biggest shock to
strike the economy since the beginning of the pandemic. China’s government is now vowing to
stabilize the situation by procuring more overseas coal and liquefied natural gas. That puts the
nation in direct competition with Europe, threatening to starve the continent of fuel and worsen
that crisis. There will be an inevitable fight over what exports are available, leaving some
developing countries such as India and Pakistan worried they can’t compete.

What Is Brainstorming?
Brainstorming is a method of generating ideas and sharing knowledge to solve a particular
commercial or technical problem, in which participants are encouraged to think without
interruption. Brainstorming is a group activity where each participant shares their ideas as soon
as they come to mind. (TWI Ltd., 2016)
Rule of Brainstorming
To ensure a productive session and one to which all present contribute, there are several
brainstorming 'rules' -
Encourage novel and innovative ideas, however odd they may first appear
The quantity of ideas is more important than quality, so while ideas are shared with the
group they are not discussed or criticized in detail; this is reserved for a later stage
Build on the ideas put forward by others
Every person and every idea has equal worth
Each idea generated belongs to the group rather than the individual who thought of it

The future of renewable energy is fundamentally a choice, not a foregone conclusion given
technology and economic trends. The consumption of fossil fuels is 88% while the consumption
of renewable energy is 88%. The research shows that in upcoming days up to 2040 there will be
huge difference in the production of fossil fuel from now. So, by the year 2050, there will
directly be Fossil fuels vs. Renewable energy. It is predicted by considering current facts that by
2050 fossil fuel remains 25% & the rest of 75% will only be covered by Renewable Energy.
Benefits of renewable energy is
Strengthen trade.
Renewable and free
Upraise living standards.
Long operating life
Reduction in pollution and change in climate.
Strengthen trade.
Stabilize population growth and reduce world hunger.
Land can be used for other purposes
Now almost competitive with hydro and fossil fuels
Hybrid power systems combine two or more energy conversion mechanisms, or two or more
fuels for the same mechanism, that when integrated, overcome limitations inherent in either.
Hybrid systems provide a high level of energy security and reliability through the integrated
mix of complementary generation methods, and often will incorporate a storage system (battery,
fuel cell) or fossil-fueled power generation to ensure consistent supply.
For example, let us consider a load of 100% power supply and there is no renewable system to
fulfill this need, so two or more renewable energy system can be combined. For example, 60%
from a biomass system, 20% from a wind energy system and the remainder from fuel cells.
Thus combining all these renewable energy systems may provide 100% of the power and
energy requirements for the load, such as a home or business. (I.Haneef, 2020)
Conclusion
Pakistan’s energy sector has become a major drain on the economy and is impeding growth,
both because of power shortages and because of the budgetary impacts of energy subsidies,
which divert much-needed resources from more productive sectors. The energy sector has
become a focus of public policy in recent years and has garnered the attention of international
financial institutions, including the IMF. Pressure for reform of the sector as a whole, and the
power generation, transmission and distribution regime in particular, has grown substantially.
The government is obliged to carry out tariff adjustments, remove subsidies and ensure a level
playing field for all private sector entities active in power generation, in addition to other policy
and governance reforms. The process has got off to a rocky start, with the judiciary calling into
question the power sector regulator’s authority and competence. How the government handles
this delicate situation in the face of skepticism from state organs and hostility from consumers
remains to be seen. (NOREF, 2014)
