The Lalpir Power Complex, (Urdu: لال پیر پاو) is a power plant complex located in Mehmood Kot, District Muzaffargarh, Punjab, Pakistan. It was active until October 2024, when Lalpir prematurely terminated its energy purchase agreement with the government of Pakistan amid concerns about coercion and threats of corruption cases against IPP owners if they sought international arbitration.[1][2]
It was incorporated in 1994.[3] Lal Pir 1 produces 362 MW of electricity whereas Lal Pir 2, which is also known as PakGen Power, produces 365MW of electricity.[4][5] It is owned by Nishat Group.[6][7]
