Pakistan’s ongoing gas shortage has exposed the urgent need to rediscover and invest in natural resources. For years, we have relied on depleting gas reserves without serious efforts to explore new sources or adopt alternative energy solutions. As a result, industries, businesses, and households now face frequent supply disruptions, increased costs, and heavy reliance on costly imports.
Instead of depending on expensive LNG imports, Pakistan must prioritise exploration of untapped natural gas reserves, investment in renewable energy, and improved resource management. The country has vast potential in coal, hydropower, wind, and solar energy, which remain underutilised. Strategic investment in these sectors can reduce dependency on imports, stabilise the economy, and create job opportunities.
