Since our founding in 1965, Associated Group (AG) has remained steadfast in its mission to power Pakistan’s growth by turning energy challenges into sustainable opportunities. Today, as we navigate a complex global energy landscape, our commitment to providing affordable and reliable fuel remains the cornerstone of our operations.
Our Pakistan GasPort Consortium Limited (PGPC) terminal at Port Qasim continues to be a vital artery for the national economy. With a peak capacity of 750 mmscfd, we remain the country’s single largest source of regasified natural gas. Our terminal, with a floating storage regasification unit from the Singapore-based shipping giant, BW Group, has successfully unloaded nearly 360 vessels since inception, delivering over 1,077.89 billion cubic feet of gas to the national grid.
The LPG sector is witnessing a transformative phase as we prioritize domestic self-reliance to save precious foreign exchange. I am pleased to share that our Jamshoro Joint Venture Limited (JJVL) plant has resumed operations after a gap of five years with a new O&M partner, the Canadian-based company, TDE. This $250 million facility is set to save Pakistan approximately $150 million annually in foreign exchange by enhancing domestic supply for both residential and industrial use. From production in Southern Sindh to the far reaches of the Karakorum, our LPG portfolio ensures that even the most remote communities have access to clean energy.
Pakistan’s energy security depends on synergy between innovative private enterprise and forward-thinking regulation. At AG, we are not just providing fuel; we are investing in the collective future of a young, urbanizing nation.
Together, we will continue to break barriers and secure the energy independence Pakistan deserves for a robust economic growth trajectory.
