Relief in power tariffs on cards

A partial relief in power tariff is on cards in the month of December on account of fuel adjustment charges for October 12.

According to The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA), a reduction of Rs1.0159 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) is expected in the bills for the coming month.

The accumulative impact of relief due to the cut in electricity prices would be Rs 0.14 billion for consumers’ electricity bills.

It was also pointed out that consumers had paid Rs1.28 per unit fuel adjustment charges in November bills.

The consumers are set to enjoy relief in electricity prices up to Rs1.01 per unit for December.

Therefore, the net impact of the increased electricity prices for consumers would be Rs 0.26 per unit in electricity bills.
