ANALYSIS OF CONVENTIONAL AND UN-CONVENTIONAL ENERGY PRACTICES IN THE SELECTED AREA OF DASOORI TANDO ALLAHYAR DISTRICT, SINDH, PAKISTAN

Abstract

The unprecedented global challenges of climate crisis, mainly caused by the high levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has a devastating impact on the world. The burning of fossil fuels for energy is a primary contributor to the problem, being responsible for approximately 75% of global carbon emissions. Countries like Pakistan severely faces the challenges of climate change despite of being a minor contributor of carbon emissions. The rural areas of Sindh are grappling with significant energy challenges, primarily due to limited access to reliable electricity from conventional sources. In case of selected union council Dasoori of Tando Allahyar district in the Hyderabad division, provenience of Sindh Pakistan has limited access to electricity and un- conventional energy sources. The study of region investigates the current situation of energy practices and consumption of the rural population.

The research methodology will be based on the quantitative and qualitative approach to collect the perception of the locals of communities through structured interviews and focus group questionnaires. The baseline survey has been carried out by primary data collection through the household, commercial and institutional survey.

Strategic recommendations emphasize the need for robust policy support, community-driven models, and financing to maximize the district’s renewable energy adoption.

This study will also recommend a design proposal for solarization of a domestic unit. The research will help in improve the adoption of clean energy sources and play a perilous role in the development of sustainable rural communities.
