Fuel diversification refers to selecting a mix of electricity generation technologies to maintain a balance between lower costs and reduced risk. Under Pakistan's PSMP-2010 plan, fuel will be diversified with 50% coal, 25% gas, 20% nuclear and renewable sources, and 5% liquid fuels. The plan aims to add over 40,000 MW of new generation capacity by 2030 to meet growing electricity demand through increased use of domestic coal, LNG, nuclear energy, and cross-border power trades.

In view of the prevailing scenario the scarcity
of electricity and depleting the fuel gas resources, the govt. has undertaken a new PSMP-2010, considering the diversification of fuel resources coal is the primary fuel for supplying stable electricity by the year 2030 Under the PSMP-2010 About 13000 MW new generation capacity has been planned by 2015 15000 MW by 2016 24000 MW by 2021 30000 MW by 2025 & 40000 MW by 2030 to meet the growing demand of electricity
