ISLAMABAD: National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) on Thursday approved a reduction of Rs 0.86 per unit in the power tariff, which will reflect in consumers’ bills for October, ARY News reported.
As per the issued notification, the reduction in power tariff is approved in the account of August’s fuel charges adjustment (FCA) for consumers.
Following the power tariff reduction, consumers will receive relief in their October bills, meanwhile, for those who have already received or paid their October bills, the adjustment will be reflected as a relief in their November bills.
However, this reduction does not extend to lifeline users, prepaid consumers, electric vehicle charging stations, and K-electric consumers, the notification added.
The Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA) had requested a decrease of Rs 0.57 per unit, alongside a specific request for a 16-paisa reduction in electricity rates for Karachi.
