“…It is worth highlighting that neither the DISCOs nor NEPRA have incorporated alternative renewable energies (AREs) into their power distribution plans, as indicated in previous studies [102,103]. The National Grid (UK) serves as an example, having made significant investments in upgrading its electricity transmission network to integrate renewable energy sources [104].…”

This study examines the efficiency of Pakistan’s power distribution industry through an index that is experiencing financial and technical losses resulting in poor service quality, blackouts, and high tariffs. The index reveals a moderate decline from 2007–2015 and a decline to poor levels by 2022, with some improvement noted in reducing distribution losses and increasing recoveries. However, certain DISCOs have seen a decline in indicators such as reliability, quality service, safety, and recoveries, requiring continuous improvement. The study proposes a variety of measures to enhance the distribution sector’s performance, such as underground distribution, energy auditing, compliance with safety standards set by OSHA, addressing fuel scarcity to reduce load shedding, implementing smart metering and prepaid metering, and developing information technology infrastructure to interact with consumers.

Optimization of Multidimensional Energy Security: An Index Based Assessment

et al. 2022

This study introduces Pakistan’s multidimensional energy security index (PMESI) and indices across dimensions from 1991 to 2020 through indicator optimization. Based on criteria, expert participation, and reliability testing, 27 indicators were identified and weighted based on dimension reduction utilizing the Varimax Rotation technique. As a result of robust evaluation framework, there has been a considerable change in Pakistan’s energy security when compared to other studies such as the energy security indicator of Pakistan (ESIP) and the energy security index of Pakistan (ESIOP). According to the findings, energy security decreased by 25% between 1991 and 2012, followed by a modest increase through 2020. During the study period, the “Affordability” dimension improved; however, the other four dimensions, namely “Availability,” “Technology,” “Governance,” and “Environment,” regressed. Few goals under the petroleum policy (1991), petroleum policy (2012), and power policy (2013) were partially met, while conservation programs, such as the renewable policy (2006) and national climate change policy (2012), fell short. Indicators such as price, reserves, governance, corruption, and consumption contributed to PMESI across five dimensions. Thus, PMESI and indices guiding policymakers to focus on improving governance and exploiting local energy resources in order to provide affordable and sufficient energy in the long run.
