    Thermal power generates about 70% of Pakistan's electricity and is produced from oil, gas, and coal. Thermal plants are located throughout Pakistan in all provinces. However, thermal power has disadvantages as the fuel sources cause pollution and are non-renewable. Additionally, Pakistan must import oil and the domestic coal is of low quality, increasing costs.

    Thermal power
    • Most of the electricity in Pakistan is produced by thermal power plant which took the lead
    in 1988-89, and in 2011-12, generated about 70 Percent of the total energy output.
    Previously hydel plants were the largest source of energy. Unlike the hydel plants which
    are concentrated in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and northern Punjab, the thermal plants are
    well distributed throughout the country.
    • The main centre for the production of thermal power in Sindh is Karachi. Other important
    thermal stations in Sindh are located at Kotri, Hyderabad. Sukkur, and Guddu. Large
    thermal plants in Punjab have been installed at Rawalpindi, Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan,

    and Kot Addu. In Balochistan, the thermal plants are located at Quetta, Pasni, and Hub.

    Disadvantages
    Thermal power in Pakistan is produced from oil, gas, and coal, and there are more disadvantages
    than advantages to their use. The main advantage is that Pakistan has rich reserves of natural gas; the
    problem is that these are being fast depleted.
    Disadvantages
    The sources of thermal power cause pollution. Coal is the largest polluter, followed by oil and
    gas.
    Pakistan is deficient in oil and has to import it. Oil is most needed by transport particularly air
    transport. Therefore, electricity generated by oil becomes very costly
    Coal produced in Pakistan is of inferior quality. Some good quality coal is imported due to
    which the cost of consumption rises.

    • All the three sources of thermal power (coal, oil, and gas) are non-renewable. They will be
    exhausted within measurable time.
