Pakistan's power generation rises over 1% in FY26
Pakistan's total power generation climbed to 128,700 GWh in FY26, up 1.2% from 127,160 GWh in FY25, driven mainly by higher output from imported coal, RFO and wind. On a monthly basis, generation in Jun'26 stood at 13,430 GWh, down 2.3% year-on-year but up 6.3% from May'26, as seasonal summer demand began to build. The annual decline was led by lower hydel output, while the sequential recovery was driven by stronger RLNG-based dispatch, according to AL Habib Capital Markets (AHCML), based on data sourced from NEPRA . Imported coal-based generation rose 51.6% YoY on a cumulative basis, followed by RFO which surged 153.5% and wind which grew 16.6%, emerging as the key contributors to FY26's overall growth.

Govt may increase June FCA by Rs1.20 per unit
The government is likely to increase electricity tariff by Rs1.20 per unit for June 2026 across the country under monthly Fuel Charges Adjustment (FCA) formula, official sources told Business Recorder. Central Power Purchasing Agency Guarantee Limited has submitted power generation data with the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra). The main reason of higher FCA for June 2026 was less generation from hydel sources, forced outages of few thermal plants, use of expensive Furnace Oil and RLNG. Nepra will conduct a public hearing before finalising the impact of FCA on consumers of Discos and K-Electric.
