Electricity performs an integral part in the economical development and national growth of country. Unfortunately, Pakistan is going through its worst period of power shortages. It is also adversely affecting the production capacity of thousands of industrial units in the country. The foremost cause of "load shedding" is that Pakistan produces major portion of energy from fossil fuels, its price and demand is continuously increasing with the passage of time. Pakistan has wide range of renewable power sources like biomass and wind energy, solar energy, hydel etc. Synthetic Natural Gas, coal, radioactive minerals & oil are modest energy resources whereas wind, hydel, solar, biomass etc are bountiful energy resources. In this article, potential of different resources for electricity production in Pakistan has been studied as well as different technologies how energy can be extracted from biomass. It is envisaged that energy/electricity crisis can be overcome by the efficient utilization of these Resources
