Pakistan's National Transmission Company

Powering Pakistan through a Reliable National Grid

We plan, build, operate and maintain the extra-high-voltage network that carries electricity from power plants to distribution networks across the country.

How Electricity Reaches You

Electricity travels through three connected stages. National Grid-Pakistan is responsible for transmission: the extra-high-voltage infrastructure between power plants and distribution networks.

Generation

Power plants generate electricity from a diverse mix of sources, including solar, wind, hydro, nuclear and fossil fuels etc.

Transmission Network

Extra-high-voltage transmission network, managed by National Grid, links generating stations to distribution networks.

Distribution

Distribution companies draw electricity from the transmission network and deliver it to homes and businesses.

One Network, Connections Across the Country

Power plants and the communities they serve can be far apart; National Grid’s transmission corridors connect them across regions, while grid stations provide the junctions between lines and voltage levels.

500 kV
The national backbone for moving bulk electricity over long distances.
220 kV
Regional transmission links connecting the backbone with grid stations closer to distribution networks.

Field Operations

Maintain the Connections Already in Service

Inspections help identify wear or damage. Planned maintenance gives teams time to repair equipment, while protection and monitoring systems help detect faults and limit their effects.

Grid Development

Prepare for Tomorrow's Demand

As demand grows and new power plants connect, the network needs enough capacity to transmit the additional electricity. Development can involve upgrading equipment, strengthening existing links or building new connections.
