Energy Musakhel
Fuel wood is the main source of energy for cooking and heating. Diesel is used to run tube wells. Kerosene oil is mostly used for lighting, as electricity is supplied in Kingri town only. The consumption of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is negligible as there is no gas agency in the whole district. Some well-to-do people bring gas cylinders from Loralai or Dera Ghazi Khan. Electricity is available in only one town and is used mainly for light while the remaining population uses kerosene lamps for light.
Although according to the government records there is no forest in the district, the whole of the area is saturated with a variety of trees providing enough fuel wood to the inhabitants. Regular electric supply, which has become a basic amenity of modern life, is needed in the area. Its provision may also help running more tube wells for irrigation and, consequently, can help agricultural development.
