  • Khan, Mohammad Azam
  • Latif, Noman

Abstract

Like many other developing countries of the world, Pakistan is also energy deficient country. Since last few decades, its electricity generation has become dependent to a large extent on the petroleum fuels. The inevitable depletion of petroleum resources will have far reaching consequences on large scale development for future, unless renewable energy alternation can be found.
