Electricity crisis in Pakistan

As summer are near the short fall of electricity increases. In the present age, without sufficient energy the wheel can’t run on roads, industry and agriculture can't sustain, hospitals and operation theaters can't function, schools and laboratories can’t work and public and private sector businesses can't operate.
In this summer country is facing a short fall of 2500 mega watts (MW). The energy demand is growing by the next summer the electricity demand likely to cross 4000 megawatts (MW). In a careful estimate, it is feared that by 2010 the short fall could reach up to 8000 megawatts (MW).
The industrial sector accounting for nearly 32 percent of the total national primary energy consumption can play a critical role in this regard. There are three main things that can be recommended to industrialists; Firstly, they should reduce energy consumption through applying energy conservation and management measures. Energy conservation is a process of decreasing the quantity of energy used while achieving a similar level of output primarily for financial gains.
