Investment Opportunities
Pakistan is rich in natural resources and has the capacity to become self-sufficient in energy having huge sedimentary basins stretching over 825,000 sq. kms, offering immense potential for exploration and development of the local natural resources with an exploration success ratio of 1 : 3.5

Petroleum Exploration & Production
The Govt. has chalked out a more investor friendly petroleum exploration & production policy offering unprecedented incentives for accelerating exploratory and production efforts.

Electric Power Generation
Pakistan has much potential for Electric Power Generation and greater role is being assigned to natural gas and coal. The Government of Pakistan has started a coal development programme aimed at developing infrastructure in the coal fields to meet a sizable portion of future power demand through coal based power generation.

Independent Power Producers (IPPs)
Enormous investment opportunities for the IPPs exist in the Hydro Power generation plants, in which the potential is estimated at about 40,000 MW, out of which the economic Hydel Power Potential is around 20,000 MW. The existing hydel capacity in operation is 5,010 MW.

Alternative Energy
Exploration and utilization of alternate sources of energy has also been started in the Country. Pakistan’s geographic location makes it ideal to harness unlimited solar energy. During the last two decades, Pakistan has developed its potential in photovoltaics (PV). This technology is particularly suitable for small power requirements and remote area applications such as remote telecommunication exchanges.

Wind Power
The Govt. has formed ALTERNATIVE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT BOARD “AEDB” to explore alternative energy sources to electrify rural areas. Pakistan has 1,046 Km long costal line where speed of wind is quite favorable for producing electricity. Pakistan has a potential of almost 50,000 MW WIND POWER, which could produce cheap electricity and reduce production cost for the cottage industry in the rural areas.
