Pakistani electricity consumers are set to receive relief with a proposed negative adjustment of Rs0.37 per unit for September 2025, amounting to a total refund of Rs4.5 billion.
Scheduled to be paid out in October's electricity bills, the offset in Pakistan's electricity prices was submitted by the Central Power Purchasing Agency-Guaranteed (CPPA-G) as part of the Fuel Charges Adjustment (FCA).
For the approval of this proposal, the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has scheduled a public hearing for October 29, 2025, wherein CPPA-G will be allowed to clarify its request and enable consumer representatives to share their perspectives.
According to the power purchasing agency, hydropower generation in September 2025 was 4,783 GWh, which accounted for 37.99% of the total electricity production of 12,592 GWh, valued at Rs89.33bn. The generation cost was Rs7.0941 per unit.
In view of previous adjustments, including Rs945 million for earlier sales and a negative adjustment of Rs1.232bn for independent power producers (IPPs), the net electricity supplied to distribution companies totalled 12,217 GWh, with a final cost of Rs7.2873 per unit.
CPPA-G argues that since the actual generation cost is lower than the reference rate, the proposed adjustment of Rs0.3681 per unit should be approved for all consumer categories to provide financial relief to consumers.
