Pakistan's power generation increased by 7.2% YoY to 10,262 GWh (13,793 MW) during October '24

Power generation increased by 7.2% YoY to 10,262 GWh (13,793 MW) during October ’24, compared to 9,572 GWh (12,865MW) during SPLY. Moreover, on a Month-on-Month basis, power generation witnessed a dip of 17.8%.
During 4MFY25, power generation fell by 5.4% YoY to 50,808 GWh (17,211 MW) compared to 53,709 GWh (18,194 MW) in the SPLY.
For the first time in 13 months, the actual generation exceeded the reference generation by 0.7% in October ’24. Compared to the reference, this surplus is expected to impact the QTA for March ’25 to May’25 positively.
Hydel generation increased by 2.3% YoY arriving at 3,187 GWh as compared to 3,114 GWh.
Nuclear-based power generation declined by 21.0%. However, this decline was already incorporated in the reference generation set at the beginning of FY25.
On the other hand, power generation from imported coal rose by 2.7x YoY to compensate for lower generation from nuclear plants. Power generation from local sources also increased by 13.8% YoY to 1,518 GWh.
Moreover, solar also saw a major uptick, as the generation rose from 76GWh to 99GWh (+ 30.3%).
