Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.
How electricity works in Pakistan
Single buyerOne state buyer, private generators
Gas, oil, hydro, nuclear, coal and solar supply power; a competitive trading arrangement is being introduced.
State-owned NTDC runs transmission; the Independent System and Market Operator (ISMO) dispatches and is building a wholesale market; CPPA-G buys power; regional DISCOs and K-Electric distribute.
Not part of a larger synchronous grid or regional power pool.
What does “Single buyer” mean?
Independent power producers build plants and sell their output under long-term contracts to one designated state buyer, usually the national utility, which runs the grid and sells to consumers.
