- W3202350549 abstract "Pakistan has not fully harnessed the capacity of its vast hydropower potential for electricity generation. It depends on imported and local fossil fuels to fulfill its energy demands, which consume a significant portion of the country's economy. Hydropower can provide an economical, renewable, clean, and secure source of energy for the country. The potential benefits and prospects of hydropower for Pakistan require a comprehensive review of the hydropower sector to investigate the true resource potential and its development, considering the associated pros and cons. Therefore, the review work examines hydropower utilization in Pakistan using SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis. The strengths include an enormous resource potential, sustainable energy source, and a well-established technology; the weaknesses include substantial capital investment, time-taking project completion, degradation of the reservoir over time, and the effect of seasonal variations. The opportunities include increasing demand-supply gap, 93% unexploited potential, water storage dams, energy security, rising concerns for climate change; the threats include economic and political instability, dependence on foreign investment and fossil fuels, transboundary location of water resources, irregular and vague energy policies. The SWOT analysis shows that despite having severe issues, hydropower is still a priority source of secure, cheap, and clean energy for the country with abundant resource potential and a properly managed technology. • The paper analyzes the current energy crisis of Pakistan, the scenario of different power generation resources, the development history of hydropower, existing and installed potential, and policies related to hydropower. • The review conducts a comprehensive SWOT analysis to determine strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats regarding hydropower. • Strengths and opportunities include tremendous untapped potential, clean and cheap source, decrease in the dependence on fossil fuels. • Weaknesses and threats include high capital cost, lengthy projects completion, the effect of seasonal variations, vague policies, transboundary water resources, economic and political instability. • The paper emphasizes the full exploitation of hydropower resources to lessen the energy crisis." @default.
