Back in April 2025,<\/a> power generation stood at 10,513 GWh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The power generation for May 2025 is the highest in nine months, said Topline Securities, in a note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe government\u2019s decision to reduce electricity prices led to this high demand,\u201d the brokerage house said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, analysts noted that rising temperatures and a significant increase in hydel generation also helped in demand improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a yearly basis, power generation surged by 1% as compared to 12,618 GWh in May 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, in the first 11 months of FY25 (July-May), power generation fell by 0.2% YoY to 113,415 GWh compared to 113,598 GWh in the SPLY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, the total cost of generating electricity in Pakistan decreased by 22%, clocking in at Rs7.8 KWh in May 2025 compared to Rs9.9 KWh registered in April 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a yearly basis, the cost was down 11%, compared to Rs8.7 KWh in May 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May, hydel emerged as the leading source of power generation, accounting for 38% of the generation mix, to become the largest source of electricity generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was followed by RLNG, which accounted for 17% of the overall generation, ahead of nuclear, which accounted for 16% of the power generation share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among renewables, wind and solar generation amounted to 3% and 1%, respectively, of the generation mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
