About PowerPost.pk
Pakistan's electrical & energy news platform
PowerPost.pk translates the institutions, decisions, and numbers that shape Pakistan's electricity and energy sector into plain-English coverage that engineers, executives, regulators, and ordinary consumers can act on the same day they appear.
Karachi, Pakistan · Always updated
PowerPost.pk is built for a country where electricity is one of the most expensive, contested, and consequential parts of daily life — yet the institutions that govern it operate through dense regulatory documents, mid-week NEPRA notifications, and late-night cabinet decisions that rarely get plain-English coverage.
We fix that gap. Every day we surface the decisions of NEPRA, the DISCOs, NTDC, AEDB, and the Power Division alongside the companies and projects that respond to them — written quickly after the source publishes, structured so a busy reader can pull the key fact in 30 seconds or read the full analysis in five minutes.

Our mission is straightforward: make Pakistan's electricity and energy information easier to understand and track. That mission shapes every editorial choice we make.
We lead with the answer. The first sentence of every story states the key fact — who, what, how much, by when — in a self-contained way that a reader can absorb without scrolling. Context follows, not the other way around.
We cite our sources. Every article shows the originating publication or regulatory document with a direct link back. Where the source is thin, the article is shorter and stays accurate rather than inventing context.
We contextualise everything for Pakistan. International stories that affect Pakistani consumers (LNG prices, EU CBAM, Chinese solar imports) are translated into rupee impact, DISCO-specific implications, and household arithmetic — not reprinted as foreign news.
PowerPost.pk uses a Claude-based generation pipeline to draft articles from verified Pakistani news sources. The pipeline runs against a strict house-style prompt, a structured-output schema, and a curated list of trusted feeds. It is not a general LLM repeating internet rumour — it is an editorial system aimed at one beat.
But AI is the draft, not the publication. Articles are reviewed by the PowerPost Editorial Team before publishing to verify the news event, check sourcing, and ensure the Pakistani context, units, and DISCO names are right. Where review surfaces a problem, the article is corrected, replaced, or held.
Tariff numbers, load shedding hours, and other quantitative claims published here should be cross-checked against the official NEPRA, DISCO, or government notice when used for commercial or legal decisions — we are a fast news layer, not an official regulatory source.
Sourcing. Every article is generated from verified Pakistani sources — primarily Dawn, The News, Engineering Review, Engineering Post, NEPRA notifications, AEDB releases, PSX disclosures, and the wire services. Each article carries a source_name and source_url field linking back to the originating publication. We do not republish without attribution.
AI assistance and editorial review. Articles are drafted by a Claude-based pipeline using a strict house-style prompt and structured-output schema, then reviewed by the PowerPost Editorial Team before publication. We do not invent quotes, names, numbers, dates, or sources. Where the original report is thin, the article is shorter and stays accurate rather than fabricating context.
Verification of figures. Tariff rates, fuel cost adjustments, load shedding hours, and other quantitative claims are pulled from the cited source as of the time of publication. They may change after publication. Readers making commercial, legal, or regulatory decisions should verify the figure against the latest NEPRA, DISCO, or government notice.
Corrections. If you find a factual error, email powerpostpk@gmail.com with the URL and the correction. We fix verified errors promptly and append a dated correction note to the article.
Sponsored content. We do not publish press releases as editorial. Any sponsored or paid content is clearly labelled, with a visible Sponsored tag in the masthead and share-preview metadata. Press releases sent to powerpostpk@gmail.com will be evaluated on news value — they may or may not result in coverage. Direct paid placement is handled separately; see our advertise page.
Independence. PowerPost.pk has no ownership relationship with any IPP, DISCO, regulator, or industry association. Coverage decisions are made on news value alone.
