Electricity price increased by Rs2.36 per unit, NEPRA issues notification

Electricity consumers across Pakistan have received another financial shock as the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has approved an increase of Rs2.36 per unit in electricity prices.

According to details reported on November 7, the latest increase has been introduced under the monthly Fuel Cost Adjustment (FCA) mechanism for September.

NEPRA has formally issued a notification confirming the revised electricity rates, paving the way for the additional charges to be reflected in consumers’ electricity bills.

The increase is expected to add to the financial burden on households and businesses already struggling with rising living costs and expensive utility bills.

The monthly fuel cost adjustment mechanism allows electricity tariffs to be revised in response to changes in fuel expenses incurred during power generation.

Under this system, fluctuations in fuel prices and generation costs are passed on to consumers through adjustments in their electricity bills.

The latest Rs2.36 per-unit increase means consumers will have to pay more for their electricity consumption, further tightening household budgets.

The notification marks another increase in electricity costs, raising concerns among consumers over the continuing pressure of energy prices on everyday expenses.
