Abstract
The widening gap between supply and demand of electricity is a global issue and it needs serious attention. For
sustaining economic growth and development, many countries are facing the challenge of high energy demand. The
conventional source of energy, fossil fuels, are depleting rapidly. The environmental impact of these fossil fuels are alarming,
worsening air pollution. The cost of imported fossil fuels is also increasing. So, there is an urgent need to find energy sources
that are reliable, environmental friendly and cost effective. Worldwide, people have shown great interest in developing
renewable energy sources. Renewable energy resources are the best replacement of conventional energy resources, but
renewable energy resources alone cannot provide for the energy demands of our country. In fact, we need a share of both of
them to cope up with the energy requirements of our country. In this study, we will investigate present energy scenario of
Pakistan, enhancement of wind power generation in Pakistan, energy policy of Pakistan and solutions for ending energy crisis
in Pakistan. Pakistan has plenteous available renewable energy resources of which wind energy has many advantages. Wind
energy has attracted many countries and is being used by them to generate electricity. Many countries of the world have
adopted this technology as wind is extensively available, has no effect on environment and is low cost. It is a successful,
developed, cutting-edge, excellent and leading technology that has a large possibility for the generation of electricity in
Pakistan. Several wind projects in Pakistan have been initiated and they have shown very encouraging and assuring signs of
future success.
