In a bid to provide further relief, electricity consumers nationwide are expected to receive a reduction of Rs0.77 per unit (inclusive of taxes) in power tariffs in the upcoming billing cycle.
Notably, the expected relief comes under the heads of Quarterly Tariff Adjustment (QTA) and Fuel Price Adjustment (FPA).
The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) stated that the fourth quarterly adjustment for the fiscal year 2024–25 was submitted by power distribution companies (DISCOs) to NEPRA, which held a public hearing on August 4, 2025.
Based on the hearing, NEPRA is expected to approve a negative adjustment of Rs1.89 per unit, which will be reflected in electricity bills for the months of August, September, and October.
To note, the anticipated reduction is primarily due to revised agreements with power generation companies, increased power demand, and the integration of captive power plants into the national grid, resulting in lower overall production costs.
Therefore, a reduction of Rs0.34 per unit under this head is expected to appear in August’s bills.
Similarly, for June 2025’s fuel cost adjustment, the Central Power Purchasing Agency – Guaranteed (CPPA-G) submitted its request to NEPRA on July 16, 2025.
On July 3, 2025, a hearing was conducted, and according to preliminary assessments, a further reduction of Rs0.78 per unit is expected to be applied to August bills.
Meanwhile, in a separate development, K-Electric (KE) stated that the company does not have the right to revise consumer tariffs.
