They've had nuclear powered electricity since 1972 and have 1.3 GW plants operating commercially.
Two additional plants at 1.1 GW each slated to add to the grid by 2021/2.

Pakistan can build the bomb, and the reactors for high grade Pu. That doesn't mean they can make a thermal reactor which has many different and difficult challenges. The metallurgy to make a high pressure reactor vessel for 500 MW is quite different from making a quickly refueled open pool reactor.
In fact, most western countries' reactor designs are derived from US licenses.
