Lakhra is a 150 MW coal power station in Sindh, Pakistan. It ranks #75 of 122 Pakistan power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1995, it is around 31 years old — long-established. In context, coal supplies about 14.8% of Pakistan's electricity; the national grid averages 347 gCO₂/kWh (54.9% low-carbon) (2025).

At 150 MW, Lakhra is below the median coal plant in Pakistan (440 MW). Technically it is described as subcritical. Its current lifecycle status is “Mothballed” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Coal plants burn pulverised coal to raise high-pressure steam for a turbine; they run as baseload but are the most carbon-intensive mainstream source and the first targeted for retirement or efficiency retrofits.
