National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) drops electricity bombshell on the people as the power tariff goes up by Rs1.95 per unit

A day earlier, the Nepra had given approval to increase of Rs1.95 per unit in the electricity tariff, putting an additional burden of Rs200 billion on all the consumers excluding K-Electric. The raise in power rates by the federal government a few days ago.

According to Nepra, the tariff hike will be applicable to all consumers including lifeline consumers using 50 units in a month.

The approval came on a federal government request for application of uniform schedule of tariff for all distribution companies of ex-Wapda along with “targeted tariff differential subsidy of Rs185 billion” to ensure uniform tariff. Per unit average tariff has gone up to Rs16.33 from Rs14.38 following the increase.
