Highlights
- The country targets a share of 30% of wind and solar in power capacity in 2030 (60% including hydro).
- The government decided to stop building new coal-fired power plants.
- The public oil and gas E&P companies are planned to be privatised.
- Both state-owned companies and IPPs are active in the electricity sector.
- The country is dependent on energy imports because of a lack of investments to develop its substantial resources of hydro, natural gas, and lignite.
- Oil and electricity prices are significantly lower than in India.
- Energy consumption decreased slightly in 2019, after a period of rapid growth.
- Biomass is the largest energy source. Households and services are the main energy users.
- Over 14 GW of power projects are under construction and a further 70 GW are in the planning stage. Pakistan plans to triple its LNG import capacity.
+11 GW
increase in electricity capacity since 2016
+29 GW
to be installed between 2020 and 2025
Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The Ministry of Energy oversees the energy sector through two divisions:the Petroleum Division, in charge of oil and gas supply, as well as of energy and mineral resources, and the Power Division. The Ministry was created in 2017 from the merger of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources and the Ministry of Water and Power.
Energy Supply
Oil:
Oil production has fluctuated around 4-5 Mt since 2014 (4.8 Mt in 2019). Production supplies just over 20% of the country's needs. Crude oil imports reached 8.5 Mt in 2019, corresponding to a drop by 20%, that comes after years of steady increases (+8%/year over 2011-2018).
Energy Prices
Oil:
Gasoline and diesel prices follow international oil prices. Hence, they decreased slightly in 2019 and more significantly in 2020, reaching US$0.65/l and US$0.68/l, respectively. Prices had been on a slow upward trend over 2016-2018, before which they had dropped significantly in 2015 and 2016.
Energy Consumption
Per capita consumption is about 0.51 toe, including 550 kWh of electricity (2019).
The country's total consumption experienced a slight decrease in 2019, by 1% to 110 Mtoe, after a period of significant increase between 2013 and 2018 (4.5%/year); the progression was more moderate between 2008 and 2013 (1.5%/year).

Issues & Prospects
As part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) initiative, China has pledged more than US$50bn in financial support to improve Pakistan's transport and energy infrastructure in order to end its ongoing power shortage crisis and boost trade from China's landlocked north-west region to Pakistan's Gwadar Port.

In the Pakistan energy market report you will find the following tables:
- Economic Indicators: Annual historical data including population, GDP growth, imports and exports, inflation rate, energy security and efficiency indicators, CO2 emissions.
- Supply Indicators: Historical data including oil and gas reserves, electric and refining capacity, energy production, power production and external trade. All are detailed by energy source.
- Demand Indicators: Historical data including consumption per inhabitant, consumption trends, total consumption by energy source, final consumption by energy source and sector, and electricity consumption by sector.
- Energy Balances: Single table displaying the overall energy industry balance per annum, also graphically displayed by energy sub-segment.
- Infrastructure Projects: Covers power plant projects by energy, technology, status and operator.
The Pakistan energy market data since 1990 and up to 2019 is included in the Excel file accompanying the Pakistan country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.
Key Data included in the excelsheet:
- Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO2 emissions.
- Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
- Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
- Energy Balance: total and per energy.
- Pakistan Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Pakistan energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO2 emissions (from fuel combustion).
