Abstract: The article focuses on the potential of ocean energy, particularly tidal energy, as an underutilized renewable resource to diversify Pakistan's energy mix and enhance energy security. Pakistan’s 1,045-kilometre coastline, especially the Indus Delta and Balochistan coast, offers significant tidal energy potential estimated to exceed 1,000 MW, yet no large-scale projects have been developed due to policy gaps, limited investment, and insufficient site data. Institutional efforts by the National Institute of Oceanography and the Pakistan Navy’s National Hydrographic Office have provided valuable resource assessments and identified promising sites. Globally, tidal energy remains in early commercial stages, with technological trends favoring tidal stream turbines for their environmental and operational advantages. The recent directive by Pakistan’s prime minister to develop a comprehensive renewable energy strategy presents an opportunity to include ocean energy, recommending pilot projects and supportive policies to harness tidal power for sustainable and off-grid coastal electrification.
