Abstract:
The subject of study is addressing the shortfall of electricity by renewable
energy sources. The shortfall in Pakistan is increasing because the electricity
generation is low as compared to electricity demand, also there are some other causes
which include growing household demand, financial management, governance
issues, etc. All these causes are putting a huge bad impact on the stability of the
system and this electricity shortfall is the main cause of slow economic growth.
Pakistan is already making its electrical energy from coal, natural gas, biomass,
hydro, and other renewable resources but that amount of energy generated is not
sufficient to meet the energy needs of Pakistan. Because these fuels are not sufficient
Pakistan is facing a shortfall of oil, coal, natural gas, and nuclear. So the alternatives
such as renewable energy sources that can be used instead of fossil fuels are studied
which are in excess amount and free. To overcome this shortfall and increase the
overall electricity production the examples of China, India and Turkey are being
studied and the lesson learned about how they have overcome their increasing
electricity demand challenges. To check the feasibility of the RE sources to
overcome the electricity shortfall the comparison of the QASP solar power plant
Pakistan and the karapinar solar power plant based in turkey has been made which
consist of the power output of the plant, specifications of the plant, and the benefits
after the deployment of these solar power plants.
