Abstract:
This paper is an attempt to address the issue of Pakistan’s
energy insecurity. Since a decade, Pakistan has been facing
an acute energy crisis that has affected each segment of
society. While highlighting Pakistan’s energy mix and share
of various resources, the paper intends to explore various
options that have been adopted and highlight Pakistan’s
institutional vision to overcome the energy crisis. While
briefly touching upon various indigenous projects and those
under the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the
paper intends to identify the significance of much delayed
Iran-Pakistan (IP) gas pipeline project and TurkmenistanAfghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline project and
examine if they can help resolve Pakistan’s energy
problems.
