NEPRA okays Rs3.5 per unit hike in power tariff

Adjustment will be reflected in consumers’ December electricity bills

n a recent development, the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has announced an increase in the cost of electricity by Rs 3.5 paise per unit.

The decision comes in light of the October fuel price adjustment, prompting NEPRA to address the changing dynamics in the energy sector.

According to the official notification issued by NEPRA, the adjustment will be reflected in consumers’ December electricity bills.

While this move is expected to impact regular consumers, it is crucial to note that the increase will not apply to Lifeline customers and those served by K-Electric.

The decision to raise the electricity tariff has sparked concerns among consumers who are already grappling with the challenges of rising inflation and economic uncertainties.
