The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has raised the electricity rates for K-Electric customers based on monthly fuel adjustment charges.
NEPRA has approved a request from K-Electric to increase the power tariff by a range of Rs. 1.48 to Rs. 4.45 per unit, as sanctioned by the Federal Government.
This tariff adjustment will apply to electricity consumed during October and November 2023, with the following extra charges:
- For consumption of 300 units: An additional charge of Rs. 1.48 per unit.
- For consumption exceeding 300 units: An extra cost of Rs. 3.21 per unit.
- For consumption exceeding 5 KW: An additional charge of Rs. 4.45 per unit.
Previously, NEPRA had approved a smaller increase of Rs. 0.46 per unit in the power tariff. This increase was related to fuel adjustment charges for July.
These additional tariff charges will be reflected in the bills for the month of September, with exceptions for Lifeline and K-Electric consumers.
