4. Wind and Solar Energy
• Unused lifelines of Pakistan.
• 1046 km long coastal line gives potential
of 40000 MW of electricity.
• Vast lands of Baluchistan can be utilized
for solar electricity generation.
• 50 to 100 MW of photovoltaics is
expected to be installed in 2013, and at
least 300 MW in 2014.

resources.
National income and its growth.
Extensive geological survey is required to discover the resource
potential.
Planning and vision.
Effective strategy is essential to fully exploit the resources under
use.
Need of technical education of people.
Pakistan is not poor but poor management of its natural
resources has made it so.
