Abstract
Energy is viewed as the most crucial sector in elements of state’s power in recent times. Energy sector is not only closely associated to the economic progress of a state but also determined the standing of a state in the committee of nations. In this connection energy sector is closely associated with the good governance and astute policy making mechanism of any state. By applying same hypothesis on Pakistan’s energy scenario, many factors come to surface that help to understand the energy sector crisis in Pakistan. Revival of energy sector in Pakistan, in many ways is connected to the revival of governance standards in Pakistan. This is the only remedy that can stabilize the energy sector but also boom the economy of the country. Unless a longterm and viable policy is created with the consensus of all stakeholders, no policy can meet its desired ends. There are several examples in the region and in the world where nations have overcome their energy sector issues with viable policies. These examples can help Pakistan in many ways to overcome its energy sector issues. Good Governance is such a panacea that can help out to overcome many issues including energy sector. Key Words: Energy, Governance, Crisis, Security, Hydro power
