In June 2025, Pakistan\u2019s power generation went up by 2% year-on-year (YoY)<\/strong>, reaching 13,744 GWh (19,089 MW)<\/strong> compared to 13,459 GWh (18,693 MW)<\/strong> in June 2024. On a month-on-month basis, it also grew by 8%<\/strong>. This rise came mainly due to stronger electricity demand, reduced tariffs, and a shift from factory-level (captive) power use back to the national grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FY25 overall generation: flat growth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While June saw a boost, total power generation for the entire FY25 remained flat<\/strong> at 127,160 GWh<\/strong>, nearly the same as 127,165 GWh<\/strong> in FY24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy sources: mixed performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a breakdown of how different energy sources performed in June 2025:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd39 Imported Coal<\/strong>: Up significantly to 1,397 GWh<\/strong>, which is 142% higher<\/strong> than expected
\ud83d\udd39 Local Coal<\/strong>: Slight growth of 1.4% YoY<\/strong> but still 1.7% below<\/strong> the target
\ud83d\udd39 Gas<\/strong>: Fell by 17% YoY<\/strong>, also 13% below<\/strong> target
\ud83d\udd39 RLNG<\/strong>: Dropped 9.1% YoY<\/strong>, and missed its goal by 12.6%<\/strong>
\ud83d\udd39 Nuclear<\/strong>: Big decline of 31% YoY<\/strong>, under target by 4.2%<\/strong>
\ud83d\udd39 Hydel (Water-based)<\/strong>: Jumped 14.4% YoY<\/strong>, but still 7.9% short<\/strong> of the planned target
\ud83d\udd39 Wind<\/strong>: Barely grew (1.2% YoY<\/strong>) and missed target by a large 35.5%<\/strong>
\ud83d\udd39 Solar<\/strong>: Declined 9.8% YoY<\/strong>, 2% below<\/strong> expectations<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power cost: a small win for consumers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The cost of power generation stood at PKR 7.87\/KWh<\/strong> in June. But after adjusting for losses and earlier charges, the actual cost<\/strong> is PKR 7.68\/KWh<\/strong>, which is lower than the government\u2019s target of PKR 8.33\/KWh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, consumers are expected to get a refund of PKR 0.65\/KWh<\/strong> on their August 2025<\/strong> electricity bill through the fuel charge adjustment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Takeaway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pakistan\u2019s power sector is seeing mild improvement<\/strong> in generation and cost control, but many challenges remain, especially in meeting targets for cleaner sources like wind and solar. Still, lower fuel costs<\/strong> are a welcome relief for consumers, even if only temporary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
