Analysis
Pakistan recorded 94.84 terawatt-hours for fossil fuel production in 2025.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.2% on the previous year and up 448.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, fossil fuel production in Pakistan peaked at 101.89 terawatt-hours in 2023 and was at its lowest, 8.12 terawatt-hours, in 1981.
That places Pakistan 17th out of 34 countries with data for 2025, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
