Pakistan — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 300 energy assets in Pakistan across 12 layers — the 32nd-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 120 power plants, 67 pipelines and 32 cement plants. Operating generation capacity is 44.4 GW, led by gas at 36%. Refining capacity is about 356 kb/d.

The companies named on the most assets are Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Ltd (SNGPL) (52), Pakistan Water and Power Development Authority (27) and Pakistan Petroleum Ltd (26), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Pakistan's mapped assets in service predate 2010 (median commissioning year of the 139 with a known date), 43 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Rohri Cement RCW Rohri Cement Plant, dating from 1938. 40+ projects are under construction or proposed, led by Bunji hydroelectric plant (7.1 GW).
