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.
