The Hub Power Plant consists of four generating units each rated at 323 MW gross output, with an oil-fired single re-heat boiler and tandem compound, two cylinder condensing steam turbines directly coupled to a hydrogen cooled generator. The design net available output is exported to WAPDA's national grid via the power station's 500kv switchyard. Both the plant configuration and the steam conditions represent conventional design based on proven technology

The Hub Power plant is one of the most efficient oil fired thermal plant and can provide 10+% of country's electricity demand. The plant is operated in such a way that it is available at a short notice during high demand period and can switch to flexible operations during low demand periods. The Plant achieved a thermal efficiency of 37.6% with an availability of 85.9% during the financial year 2001-2002.

The Hub Power Station site has an ongoing proactive approach to safety management. Station's commitment to safety procedures has already earned it with Royal Society for Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) Gold Awards consecutively for the last four years.

This year the station has been awarded one of the Royal Society's prestigious Sector Award introduced to recognize the most outstanding performance in health and safety. On June 30, 2002, the plant completed 1,201 days without Lost Time Accident.
