Saba Power Company Sheikhupura is a 114 MW oil-fired power plant located in Sheikhupura, Pakistan, operated by an Independent Power Producer (IPP). Commissioned in 1999, the plant generates electricity using oil as its primary fuel source. This facility ranks as the 24th largest oil plant in Pakistan. With a capacity of 114 MW, it represents 1.17% of Pakistan's total oil capacity of 9,774 MW. Pakistan operates 26 oil plants with a combined capacity of 9,774 MW. Compared to the largest oil plant in the country, کوٹ ادو پاور پلانٹ at 1,600 MW, Saba Power Company Sheikhupura is about one-seventh the size.
