A model of the grid you can explore

Wattlas is a digital twin of Pakistan's generation and transmission system. The grid, demand and scenario tools all live in one place, so the people planning the country's power future can test an idea before anyone builds it.

Built for researchers

…and anyone trying to make sense of the grid.

Built to answer real questions

The kind planners actually ask: where congestion bites, how thin the reserve margin runs, where the next plant should go.

Honest about uncertainty

We don't fake grid data. Whether a value is measured, derived or forecast, it's labelled so you can tell them apart.

Power-systems methods first

We reach for graph topology, capacity factors and load shapes before generic software shortcuts.

Why we built it

Pakistan's power system runs on hard questions. Where should the next renewables go? Which corridors will congest first? How much storage does the grid actually need, and how fast will demand climb over the next decade?

Answering any of them usually means stitching together scattered datasets and a pile of proprietary tools. We wanted one model you could open in a browser, with the assumptions behind each number in plain sight rather than buried.

Two people, one grid

Broad roles with plenty of overlap. We trade off across the whole stack, from the data pipeline to the pixels.

It's a research preview built by two people, so expect the odd rough edge.
