What CHANGED? Pakistan's Power Sector Just Had Its Strongest January on Record

Over the past few months, the government has introduced several major policy changes aimed at stabilizing the power sector, including industrial tariff reductions, levies on captive gas generation, reforms to solar net-metering, and the rollout of Pakistan’s competitive electricity market framework. Together, these decisions are beginning to reshape how electricity flows through the system. In PowerPlay: January 2026, we break down Pakistan’s latest power generation data and connect it to the policy decisions driving the grid’s comeback. We also speak with Syed Faizan Ali Shah, Energy Advisor at the Ministry of Energy, who explains the government’s thinking behind recent power sector reforms. PowerPlay is a Pakistan & Counting series focused on energy economics, system design, and the decisions shaping Pakistan’s power future.
