No Relief in Sight as Discos Seeks Rs1.829 Increase in Power Tariff
LAHORE MIRROR — Distribution companies have sought the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority’s (Nepra) approval for the collection of an additional power tariff of Rs1.829 per unit from consumers in October.
The Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA), acting on behalf of Discos, has filed a petition seeking the aforementioned tariff hike for the August 2023 FCA.
Nepra has set a public hearing for September 23 to review this petition. If the proposed increase is sanctioned, it could result in a total financial impact of over Rs25 billion on the consumers.
