The runway oil prices are going to trigger a new world order where many countries will increasingly switch to renewable energy sources. Pakistan has different sources of electricity production comprising oil-based plants, coal-fired plants, renewable energy, LNG-run plants and hydroelectric power. Among renewables, China has provided assistance for setting up energy plants having production capacity of 4,800MW. These projects include 50MW Dawood Wind, 100MW UEP Wind, 50MW Sachal Wind and 100MW Three Gorges Wind Plants. The Quaid-e-Azam Solar Park and cluster projects with a cumulative production capacity of 900-1,000MW have been undertaken with critical support from China.
