Pakistan needs around 15,000 to 20,000 MW electricity per day, however, currently it is able to produce about 11,500 MW per day hence there is a shortfall of about 4,000 to 9,000 MW per day. This shortage is badly hampering the economic growth of the country and new capacity of generation. Moreover, rapid demand growth, transmission losses due to out dated infrastructure, power theft, and seasonal reductions in the availability of hydropower have worsened the situation. Consequently, the demand exceeds supply and hence load-shedding is a common phenomenon through power shutdown. Back






	"Energy is considered to be lifeline of any economy and most vital instrument of socioeconomic development of a country" Energy Saving GHG Reductions						CFL Bulb Distribution Project Implementation Under Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)2011
							The replacement of 60 million incandescent bulbs with CFLs, having an average consumption of 21.5W per lamp will result in an estimated reduction of peak demand by about 2,188 MW (at 66% peak coincidence). Positive contribution to household budgets through reduced spending on electrical power. The project will reduce peak demand by 2,188 MW, corresponding to $3.68 billion in new generation investments, save $1.6 billion in household electricity expenses, and result in 4,264 GWh in annual electricity consumption. reductions. Approximately 67,000 metric tons of CO2 per year abated per 1 million CFLs distributed. Each lamp will result in an estimated reduction of peak demand by about 2,188 MW (at 66% peak coincidence) and estimated 4.02 Million ton of Co2 eq/Year.
