Being located in the Sun Belt, Pakistan is rich in sunlight and receives a high mean irradiation. This condition is ideal for harnessing Sun’s power for solar energy applications by using solar reflectors. In spite of possessing such a rich solar irradiation area, Pakistan is facing energy crisis because most of the energy resources are still unexploited. This paper discusses the energy crisis of Pakistan and provides the solution by putting efforts into solar energy technology, as well as devising innovative ways to incorporate solar reflectors into a solar panel and get more power generation out of it by a diminutive modification. Reflectors are used in the solar technology to concentrate the sunlight onto the solar panels. They employ glass as a base material with a silver coating and a protective layer over it. They elevate the energy input of solar panels as the whole solar spectrum is reflected on them. Materials with more reflective properties are needed to be used to increase the reflectivity and efficiency of solar reflectors. In Pakistan, no significant work is done till now towards the development of solar reflectors. If solar reflectors are used with the solar panels, then their efficiency as well as production from the solar panels will be maximized.

“…In municipal and rural parts of Pakistan, there is plain load shedding fluctuating from 8 to 12 h daily and almost 18 h, respectively. This is because of a lack of 5 to 7 GW stock of power [7,11]. For the power generation, the infrastructure is available; however, it is quite old, taking less competence as associated with the energy burdens in the country.…”

Energy consumption is a crucial factor to promote industrial sector contribution in an economy for its economic progression. Indeed, Pakistan is an emerging country, but recently adjoining with a very severe deficit of electricity sources. Hence, the industry value added growth leading to economic progression is also fronting inevitable challenges to promote the industry growth. The main objective of the study is to investigate the linkages between industrial sector oil, gas and electricity consumption, and renewable energy consumption with economic development in Pakistan. The findings display evidence of cointegration and a long-run relationship between the consumption of industrial energy and economic growth in Pakistan. The results showed that industrial electricity consumption and industrial gas consumption have a positive and statistically significant impact on economic growth both in the long run and the short run in Pakistan. Industrial oil consumption negatively impacts economic growth in the long run, but positively and statistically significantly impacts economic growth in the short run in Pakistan. Moreover, indications through the vector error correction model (VECM) model confirmed bi-directional relationships of industrial sector oil consumption and economic growth in Pakistan. Furthermore, the uni-directional nexus instituted between economic growth to industrial electricity consumption, industrial gas consumption to industrial electricity consumption, and industrial oil consumption to industrial electricity consumption. The findings uncovered solid interconnections among the studied variables and suggested that the Pakistani government should build a robust policy to diminish the oil, gas, and fossil fuels consumption for electricity production, as a replacement to depend on solar, hydro, wind, and biomass energy sources in Pakistan. Consequently, the government should promote more gas concentrated projects, as these will alleviate the contests of gas dearth and provide it to the industry at cheap prices with ease.

Energy being the lifeline for socio economic development has become the leading issue of 21st century. There is global increase in demand of energy and it will continue to increase due to immoderate energy consumption. Today there is global fear of energy crisis as world primary demand of energy is expected to rise about 1.7 percent annually in next twenty years. South Asia is expected to give largest share for increase in global energy demand. Pakistan being a developing state is facing acute energy crisis that has hampered the socio-economic development. The energy crisis of Pakistan and its spillover effects on efficiency of other sectors especially economic sector has created serious issues in Pakistan for the last two decades. The overreliance on imported energy resources to satisfy the demand and less emphasis on the development of domestic energy resources is deteriorating the socio-economic conditions of country. There are two major sources of energy being used in Pakistan, renewable and non-renewable sources. In Pakistan, there has been more focus on non-renewable sources of energy which are largely acquired through imports of oil to satisfy the increasing demand. The state Energy policy has somehow has not able to match with the increasing energy demand and therefore citizens angered by frequent power outages demonstrate to protests and riots. Thus, this article, accentuate on the need of the utilization of the indigenous resources of energy to fulfill the energy need and to eradicate the acute crisis of energy. this research will also assess the issues in Power policy and Power sector institutions of Pakistan.
