Although power production increased in Pakistan in December 2017 after the addition of several new coal, nuclear and wind power projects in recent months, but output of the cheapest source – hydel – dropped significantly.

Power production by hydroelectric power projects fell 25% to 1,231.53 gigawatt-hour (GWh) in December 2017 compared to 1,642.65 GWh in the corresponding month of previous year, according to the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra).
