With a capacity of 131 MW, Kohinoor Energy Limited ranks as the 102nd largest power generation facility in Pakistan among 198 plants, underscoring its role in a nation where energy demand is surging. As the 20th largest oil plant in Pakistan, it is positioned within a framework that is predominantly hydropower-driven, reflecting the country’s commitment to leveraging its water resources. Owned and operated by an independent power producer (IPP), Kohinoor utilizes oil as its primary fuel source, which provides a flexible and responsive energy solution, particularly important during peak demand periods. Situated in a region characterized by other gas-fired plants, such as the nearby Balloki Power Plant and Bhikki Power Plant, which have capacities of 1,223 MW and 1,180 MW respectively, Kohinoor serves as a smaller yet essential part of the energy mix. In Pakistan’s overall energy profile, where total capacity reaches 98,402 MW, the facility contributes approximately 0.13% of the national capacity. This contribution, while modest, is significant in the context of a country facing ongoing energy challenges. Commissioned in 1997, Kohinoor Energy Limited has been a part of the energy solution for over two decades, and it continues to adapt to the changing energy landscape. As Pakistan seeks to enhance its energy security and diversify its energy sources, Kohinoor stands ready to play an integral role, demonstrating the potential of oil-based generation in a transition towards a more balanced energy future.
