Energy

The largest province of Pakistan – Baluchistan’s future economic and industrial development is linked with adequate and uninterrupted power supply to the industrial and commercial consumers. Balochistan has a strong potential for solar power generation as sun rays are highest in the region with average mean daily solar radiation of 5.9-6.2 KWh/sq which has the potential to produce 120,000 MW of solar energy.

The province also has the world’s largest wind corridor and is considered the best suitable place for establishing wind power plant. Chaghi district and the coastal areas of Balochistan have the potential to generate more than 20,000 MW of wind power energy. On the other hand, the massive reserves of 217 MT coal can be utilized for coal-based power plant to meet the energy requirement of the province.
