An introduction to the Power Sector of PakistanBy Usman Tariq

“Could you live without electricity?1.6 billion are in the dark

By 2030, when Earth's population will likely top 8 billion, 1.3 billion people will still lack electricity. Of those, 700 million will be in Africa, and 490 million in South Asia.”
