NEPRA Lowers Power Tariff for Karachi Residents

The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has introduced a major reduction in electricity prices, offering much-needed relief to consumers facing rising energy costs.

According to reports, K-Electric users in Karachi will benefit from a Rs3.64 per unit reduction under the monthly fuel adjustment for February 2025. Nationwide consumers will also see relief through a Rs1.55 per unit reduction, part of the third quarterly adjustment for the ongoing fiscal year.

“This updated price cut will be mentioned in the electricity bills, which will be issued in May 2025, ensuring the benefits to the great number of households and businesses.”

However, NEPRA clarified that lifeline and protected consumers are excluded from this relief initiative.

The regulatory body estimates that these tariff reductions will collectively save consumers Rs52.6 billion, a measure aimed at easing the economic burden during inflationary times.

“Consumers can expect reduced electricity bills from May to July 2025, with the updated tariffs being automatically reflected in their monthly statements.”

The move is part of broader efforts by NEPRA and the government to stabilize energy costs and promote affordability in the power sector.

“NEPRA stated that the adjustment in electricity prices reflected improved efficiency and better management in the power sector.” The authority emphasized that these changes support the government’s mission to provide economic relief to the public.
