Pakistan's Federal Minister of Energy, Awais Ahmad Khan Leghari, has revealed that about 74% of Pakistan's electricity generation now comes from local sources, with the government aiming to increase this to above 96% by 2034. This comes amidst long-standing electricity shortages, with periods of daily load shedding during peak summer demand due to theft, line losses and financial constraints. LNG now accounts for about 10% of the electricity generation, mainly used to meet evening demand peaks and stabilise the grid. However, prolonged disruptions could lead to additional shortages during summer demand. The government's plans for the next six to eight years are to focus on indigenous clean power.
