Furnace oil 16 percent hydel 27 percent natural gas 12 percent lng 26 percent coal 9 percent renewable solar and wind 5 percent and nuclear 5 per cent are the principal sources.
Pakistan has some of the highest values of insolation in the world citation needed with eight to nine hours of sunshine per day ideal climatic conditions for solar power generation.
Pakistan has achieved surplus power production and projects in the pipeline will be more than sufficient to meet future demand.
Therefore authorities may divert the investment allocated to solar.
