Abstract

The success of sustainability is mainly linked to the energy sector, which is governed by the mix of different fuel resources. This work aims to calculate the sustainability performance scores (SPSs) of the energy alternatives that constitute Pakistan's current electric energy mix and future energy plans. For this purpose, a decision framework consisting of eighteen indicators is considered for evaluating the performance of energy alternatives. The SPSs of energy alternatives are calculated using the dimensional reduction feature of the principal component analysis technique. The resultant prioritization of energy alternatives favors solar resource the most for planning a roadmap for sustainable net-zero energy infrastructure development. Based on the outcomes, recommendations are put forward to improve the current energy situation so that the country could catch the pathway towards achieving energy sustainability.
