Powerplants that run on Natural gas does not hold a very bright future, as most of the Country's land transport relies heavily on Natural Gas, in addition to some of already installed power plants that run on the same fuel. If we look at the geographic distribution of the country's gas reservoirs, then we shall find that most of them are lying at Baluchistan Province, where the security issue is on a rise, since a few years.

So, you may think of a power plant, which may not get the fuel after 5 to 10 years time from local sources, or may be not getting it after the next day you comission it (due to any attacks on the main pipelines).

Powerplants that run on oil can also be converted to use natural gas as their fuel. However, the oil power plants may have better future prospects, as the the oil reservoirs of the country are dithered apart on the map and also the import route of the oil lies in safe regions (Mostly Karachi Port).

However, the most enticing offer for any investor in this sector will be in the coal power plants-- the reservoirs are enough to power the country for next 100 years or more, only if managed with 33% efficiency. The location of the reservoirs are in a very safe places (politically) and that is not far from the main cities which have most of the industrial loads (specially cities of Punjab Province).
