The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) has announced a reduction in electricity prices across Pakistan under the monthly fuel cost adjustment mechanism.
Karachi’s electricity consumers will see a reduction of Rs4.03 per unit, while the rest of the country will benefit from a 50-paisa per unit cut, according to the latest notification issued by Nepra.
Nepra stated that the relief reflects in July's electricity bills for all eligible consumers. The adjustment for K-Electric pertains to April 2025, while the rest of the country's reduction applies to May 2025’s fuel cost adjustment.
Nepra noted in its notification that the refund was decided on account of variation in fuel charges for April 2025 in the approved tariff of the power company and to be passed on to the consumers in the billing month of July 2025.
As per Nepra's directives, the notification shall apply to all the consumer categories except lifeline consumers, domestic protected consumers, electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) and prepaid electricity consumers of all categories who opted for pre-paid tariff.
“Fuel charge adjustments are incurred by utilities due to global variations in fuel prices used to generate electricity, and the changes in generation mix. These costs are reflected in customer bills following NEPRA’s scrutiny and approval. Customers also benefit from negative FCA in their bills when global fuel prices decrease.”
In addition, Nepra directed the KE to display the adjustment separately in the consumers' bills on the basis of units billed to the users, in the respective month to which the adjustment pertains.
