Nepra approves hike in electricity tariff for KE consumers

Technicians in Karachi, Pakistan fixed cables on a power transmission line, and the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority increased the electricity tariff for K-Electric consumers by Rs5.76 per unit due to fuel adjustment charges. The increase will be reflected in October and November bills. The government had previously increased the base tariff for domestic consumers. K-Electric clarified that the net increase in customer bills for October will be Rs1.59 per unit, and for November it will be Rs0.58 per unit. The increase is due to global fuel price variations and changes in generation mix. Customers may receive benefits in their bills when global fuel prices decrease.
