Power consumers likely to receive another ‘shock’ as the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) is set to take up CPPA’s plea seeking a hike of Rs5 per unit in the base tariff
Preparations are underway to impose an additional burden of over Rs 310 billion on electricity consumers.
As per details, the electric power regulator will decide on the Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA) plea tomorrow, which is seeking a hike in the base tariff for the FY2024–25.
CPPA has presented seven scenarios for power purchase prices, with an estimated range of Rs 25.03 to Rs 27.11 per unit.
A report by the power division indicated that the circular debt was Rs 2,310 billion as of June 2023, marking an increase of Rs 325 billion over the following seven months up to January 2024.
These developments signal continued financial strain on electricity consumers and highlight ongoing challenges within Pakistan’s power sector.
