Overview
Pakistan’s energy strategy balances ambitious renewable targets—aiming for a dominant share in power generation by 2035—with persistent reliance on fossil fuels, notably coal, following shifting priorities post-Ukraine conflict. Structural reforms, including privatisation and regulatory adjustments, seek to address sector inefficiencies, though financial constraints and circular debt remain critical challenges.

Energy & Climate Policy Framework
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.
Energy Companies
Oil:
OGDCL (Oil and Gas Development Company Ltd, 85% public) is in charge of the exploration-production of oil and gas, with an average daily net production of crude oil of 31 kb/d (FY July2024-June 2025). The government included OGDCL on the list of companies to be privatised.
Energy Supply & Demand
Resources:
The country has substantial hydroelectric resources with an economically exploitable potential estimated at 500 TWh, of which only around 24% is developed so far. The country also has large natural gas reserves (423 bcm end of 2024), with a significant progression of 32% in 2017. Oil reserves are negligible (less than 190 Mbl in 2024).
Energy Use and Price by Sector
Energy Prices in Industry:
Electricity prices for industry have increased rapidly since 2020 (around +13%/year on average), reaching almost U$c19/kWh in 2023. They are almost twice higher than in India.

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.

The Pakistan energy market data since 1990 and up to
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).
