What Attock Gen Limited (AGL) does

Attock Gen Limited (AGL) is a Pakistan-based Independent Power Producer (IPP) and the first power-sector venture of the Attock Group of Companies. It was incorporated in 2007 and is the first IPP commissioned under the Government of Pakistan's 2002 Policy for Power Generation Projects. The company operates a single 165 MW gross capacity (156.181 MW net dependable) combined cycle power plant located in Morgah, Rawalpindi.

The plant is built on a combined cycle configuration of nine Wartsila W18V46 reciprocating furnace-oil-fired engine generator sets (each 16.5 MW) and nine heat recovery steam generators feeding one 11.6 MW condensing steam turbine. Fuel is indigenous Residual Fuel Oil (RFO) extracted from crude processed at the Attock Refinery in Rawalpindi and supplied under a dedicated Fuel Supply Agreement with Attock Petroleum Limited (APL). The technology stack is conventional heavy-fuel reciprocating engine power generation, with no AI/digital overlay referenced in available materials.

The business model is a regulated, contracted utility revenue stream: AGL sells the full output of the plant exclusively to the Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPAG, novated from NTDC) under a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement signed 1 September 2007, with backing by a Government of Pakistan Guarantee dated 25 September 2007. The single customer is a government-backed offtaker, the GTM motion is enterprise-level contractual rather than market-based, and pricing is set by the PPA rather than market discovery. AGL is privately held under the Attock Group, with The Attock Oil Company and Attock Refinery Limited as the two principal sponsors.

Four partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• CPPAG (Central Power Purchasing Agency Guarantee) / NTDCcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 September 2007CPPAG, novated from NTDC (National Transmission and Despatch Company), is the sole power purchaser of AGL's entire electricity output under a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement signed on 1 September 2007. This is the primary revenue-generating partnership for AGL and represents the core commercial relationship underpinning the entire business.
• Attock Petroleum Limited (APL)coreTechnology or Integration · 5 June 2007Attock Petroleum Limited (APL) is the exclusive fuel supplier to AGL's power plant under a Fuel Supply Agreement signed on 5 June 2007. APL supplies Residual Fuel Oil (RFO) which is extracted from indigenous crude oil processed at the Attock Refinery in Rawalpindi. This supply chain integration is a core operational partnership.
• WartsilacoreTechnology or IntegrationWartsila supplied the core power generation technology for AGL's plant — specifically 09 Wartsila W18V46 Gensets (16.5 MW each) configured in a combined cycle arrangement with 9 Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG) and 01 Steam Turbine Generator (STG). Wartsila is referenced as a key technology partner on AGL's project details page with a direct link to Wartsila's energy references page.
• Government of Pakistan (GOP)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerThe Government of Pakistan provided a Guarantee (GOP Guarantee dated 25 September 2007) in support of AGL's Power Purchase Agreement, substantially de-risking the investment.

Others

• Wartsila Energy: Wartsila is AGL's core technology provider and a global supplier of engine-based power plants and energy storage. It is comparable not as a direct IPP competitor in Pakistan but as a strategic OEM partner whose technology stack underpins AGL's plant.
• Attock Petroleum Limited: Attock Petroleum is AGL's exclusive fuel supplier under a Fuel Supply Agreement and a sister entity within the Attock Group. It is comparable as an ecosystem participant — not a direct IPP competitor — but a vertically integrated counterpart whose operations directly affect AGL's fuel economics.

Direct peers

• Altern Energy Limited: Altern Energy is a Pakistani IPP operating a combined-cycle gas-fired power plant selling electricity to the national grid under a long-term PPA. It is comparable to AGL as a privately held Pakistani IPP with contracted government offtake, though with gas rather than furnace-oil fuel.
• Pakgen Power Limited: Pakgen Power operates a furnace-oil IPP in Pakistan selling power to NTDC/CPPAG under a long-term PPA. It is directly comparable to AGL in fuel technology, offtake structure, and project scale, and is part of the same broader IPP cohort.
• Lalpir Power Limited: Lalpir Power operates a furnace-oil-fired IPP in Pakistan under a long-term PPA with the national grid. It shares AGL's oil-fired generation technology, government off-taker structure, and single-site business model, making it a close comparable.
• Hub Power Company (HUBC): HUBC is Pakistan's largest Independent Power Producer operating multiple fossil-fuel plants under long-term PPAs with CPPAG/NTDC. It is the most direct peer to AGL given the identical IPP business model, government-backed offtaker, and contracted revenue structure, but at materially larger scale.
• Kot Addu Power Company (KAPCO): KAPCO operates a large multi-fuel IPP in Pakistan selling electricity to the national grid under a long-term PPA. It is directly comparable to AGL as a Pakistani IPP with government-backed offtake and a fossil-fuel generation portfolio.
• Kohinoor Energy Limited: Kohinoor Energy operates a furnace-oil-based IPP in Pakistan under a long-term PPA with the national grid. It shares AGL's fuel technology (RFO) and the same IPP business model with a single government counterparty.
• Engro Powergen Qadirpur Limited: Engro Powergen operates a gas-fired IPP in Pakistan under a long-term PPA with the national grid. It is comparable to AGL as a privately held single-asset IPP with government-backed contracted revenues, though utilizing gas rather than RFO technology.

Broad incumbents

• NTPC Limited (India): NTPC is one of South Asia's largest state-owned power generators operating a diversified fossil-fuel and renewable portfolio. It is comparable as a regional broad incumbent in utility-scale power generation, though at far larger scale and with multi-asset diversification versus AGL's single site.
