ISLAMABAD: The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) on Thursday notified a Rs4.74 increase in the electricity tariff.
The hike in the power tariff is on account of fuel charges adjustment (FCA) for October 2021, said a notification by NEPRA.
The FCA will be charged with the bill of December 2021, to be paid by all consumer categories of distribution companies, except for lifeline customers, the notice stated.
The Rs4.74 increase will put a burden of Rs60 billion on consumers, including a 17% GST.
It is pertinent to mention that 10.98 billion units of electricity were sold during October.
“While effecting the fuel adjustment charges, the concerned XWDISCOs shall keep in view and strictly comply with the orders of the courts notwithstanding this order,” the notification read.
Earlier this week, the regulatory authority notified another hike in the price of electricity for Karachi, increasing the rate by Rs3.75 per unit.
The notification said that the latest adjustment in the approved tariff for Karachi has been made on account of the fuel charges adjustment for September, which would be included in the electricity bills for December.
