Hubco Narowal Power Plant225 MW Oil

OilVerified: Feb 2026

The Hubco Narowal Power Plant is a significant player in Pakistan's energy sector, ranked 68th among the nation's 198 power generation facilities and 8th among 26 oil plants. With a capacity of 225 MW, this plant is crucial for the local energy supply, especially as it operates in a region dominated by hydropower. Its isolated location, with no nearby plants within a 50 km radius, makes its contribution even more critical in ensuring energy reliability for the area. Given that Pakistan's total generation capacity stands at 98,402 MW, Hubco Narowal Power Plant contributes a modest 0.23% to this total, underscoring its role in the national energy landscape. The average capacity of power plants in Pakistan is approximately 496 MW, so while Hubco Narowal is smaller compared to other larger facilities, it occupies an important niche in the oil energy sector. Operated by HUBCO, this facility exemplifies the challenges faced by oil-based power generation in a country where hydroelectric plants dominate. Despite its size, the plant is part of broader discussions about energy diversification and the transition toward more sustainable energy solutions. As Pakistan seeks to balance its energy portfolio amidst fluctuating demand and supply, Hubco Narowal Power Plant remains a vital component of the energy mix, showcasing the potential for oil plants to complement renewable resources in the future.
