Pakistan's Energy Mix & Hydropower Potential
#Hydropower #Dam #Pakistan
Pakistan’s primary energy supply comes from oil, natural gas & Hydropower. As clear from data range from year 1990 to 2018, the major energy share coming from Oil, Natural Gas and Bio-fuels.
Pakistan is blessed with a high potential of renewable energy resources, but so far, only large hydroelectric projects and few wind and solar projects have harnessed this potential. It is estimated that Pakistan has Hydropower Potential of more than 60,000 megawatts. Just over 10% of it has been utilized for the production of electricity and the remaining potential is still untapped.
In this video, identified hydropower projects on Pakistan’s different rivers which are operational, under construction or ready to construct were summarized . The major share identified from mighty Indus river with over 40,000 megawatts. Similarly, 5,000 megawatts from Jhelum river, 3,464 megawatts from Neelum River, over 2,000 megawatts from swat river, 1,621 megawatts from Kunhar river, 464 megawatts from poonch river and about 7,500 from small rivers & Tributaries.
