The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has sanctioned an increase of Rs3.3 per unit in the power tariff for consumers of power distribution companies (DISCOs), excluding K-electric. This rise, attributed to fuel charges adjustment (FCA), will apply to all consumer categories except Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS) and lifeline consumers. Consequently, electricity bills for consumers will surge in June.
Additionally, on Tuesday, NEPRA announced another hike of Rs3.76 per unit for electricity due to quarterly fuel adjustment. This adjustment will be effective for three months: June, July, and August. According to NEPRA’s notification, the increased rates will be Rs1.90 per unit in June, and Rs0.93 per unit in both July and August.
This latest tariff adjustment is projected to impose an extra burden of Rs46.61 billion on electricity consumers, including those of K-electric.
