The MoE functions are split in two divisions: Petroleum and Power – each independent of its tasks and objectives. The MoE oversees overall domestic hydropower generation, petroleum and energy production by means of alternative energy sources, and energy conservation.
The MoE is headed by an elected Minister of Energy who is assisted by Minister of States (as its deputies) and secretaries of each division to implement the MoE's policies and works.[1][2]
The Ministry of Energy does not run nuclear power plants since Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission is solely responsible for such plants.
