Pakistan likely to witness another hike in electricity bill
The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) in Pakistan is likely to hike electricity prices on account of fuel cost adjustment.
The Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA) has filed a plea with NEPRA seeking an increase of Rs7.13 per unit in the electricity prices from next month, reported ARY News.
If NEPRA approves the demand then it would put an additional burden of Rs66.77 billion on inflation-bitten consumers.
CPPA in its petition said 7.93 billion units were distributed to power distribution companies in January 2024, ARY News reported.
Nepra will take up the petition on Feb 23.
The revised prices will not be applicable to lifeline KE consumers, the Pakistani news channel reported.
