Fuel prices (PSO, Rs per litre)
Every price notice in Pakistan State Oil's POL archive, May 2006 onward. Each value is the price effective from its date until the next observation. PSO now posts a notice most weekdays; we check twice a day.
| Id | What it is | History |
|---|---|---|
energy.fuel.petrol |
Petrol (motor spirit; PSO's "Premier Euro 5") | 2006 → |
energy.fuel.diesel |
High-speed diesel (PSO's "Hi-Cetane Diesel Euro 5") | 2006 → |
energy.fuel.kerosene |
Kerosene oil (SKO) | 2006 → |
energy.fuel.ldo |

energy.fuel.jp1 |
Jet fuel (JP-1) | 2006 → |
energy.fuel.e10 |

PSO's archive has a few clerical slips. A notice dated out of the archive's own order (e.g. a "1 January 2006" placeholder between two 2011 notices) or a price more than 3 times away from both neighbouring notices (one petrol price of 2,222 between two of 64.27) is left out, not guessed at: ten notices and five single prices out of about 2,000.
Power generation (NEPRA, monthly)
From NEPRA's State of Industry Report data: every power plant NEPRA lists (108 to 134 a year: WAPDA hydel, IPPs, nuclear, wind, solar and bagasse), FY2017-18 onward.
| Id | What it is | Dims |
|---|---|---|
energy.generation.plant |
Energy generated, GWh per month | plant |
energy.utilization.plant |
Utilization, % of dependable capacity | plant |
energy.capacity.installed |
Installed capacity, MW (at fiscal-year end) | plant, technology, fuel |
energy.capacity.dependable |
Dependable capacity, MW | plant, technology, fuel |
energy.generation.by_source |
Generation summed by NEPRA's technology class | source: hydel, thermal (oil, gas, RLNG), coal, nuclear, wind, solar, bagasse |
A plant renamed between years ("… Ltd." → "… (Pvt.) Limited") keeps one series under its latest name. NEPRA publishes a new fiscal year once a year.
