Abstract

The long-Term forecasting of electricity demand at regional level has recently gained significance due to competitiveness of decentralized energy system. For sustainable development of any region, energy demand modeling plays a key role. This paper is based on LEAP (Long-range Energy Alternative Planning) to calculate the total demand of Gilgit-Balitistan for the base year 2016 to the end year 2040. Gilgit is an area of massive strategic and economic-importance, located in the northern most region of Pakistan, which connects with China through Khunjerab pass, India through Astore Skardu districts and Afghanistan through Ghizer valley. It acts as the gateway for the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project. Gilgit-Baltistan is divided into two main divisions namely, Gilgit and Baltistan Division. The total demand of Gilgit-Baltistan is mainly composed of residential, industrial and commercial sub-sectors. End user approach is used in this paper for analysis of electricity demand. Overall, the forecasted electricity demand analysis of Gilgit-Baltistan will be able to provide sustainable alternatives for demand side management and supply policy selections at regional level.
