Hydro energy is not the main source of energy for the rapidly developing Pakistani
economy, but it is an important element of her energy mix. From the Islamabad's
economic interests point of view of, the priority is to limit the scale of blackouts,
which slow down the development of economics and make life of Pakistan’s
population tougher. Hydro power plants, however, are considered more expensive
when it comes to the cost of construction than conventional ones. They have a significant
advantage: they do not require fuel, and therefore for a country relatively
lacking natural resources it is an interesting alternative. The Indus river basin area is
suitable to the construction of this type of infrastructure. However , demographic
factors are a serious limitation for the development of this type of infrastructure –
the growing population means an increase in the demand for potable water (both for
people as well as for the food sector). In addition, environmental risks associated
with global warming may also have a negative impact on water supply. International
environment is disadvantageous to the development of hydro plants. The Indus Water
Treaty, signed with India in 1960, does not match the new challenges posed by
both the growing population and the development of hydropower. Therefore, competition
in the management of shrinking water resources may lead to an escalation of
the conflict between India and Pakistan, lasting over 70 years. An important role for
the dynamics of international relations in South Asia, also in the energy and water
dimension, has and will have a policy of the People's Republic of China, which is
focused on close cooperation with Pakistan, which is considered by India as
a thread.
