Relief announced in electricity bills for October 2024

ISLAMABAD – The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has approved a reduction of 86 paisa per unit in the wake of monthly fuel price adjustment (FPA) for August 2024.

The authority issued the decision while hearing a request made by Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA-G) seeking a reduction of 57 paisa per unit in the FPA.

NEPRA had conducted a public hearing on this request on September 26, 2024. Prior to this, the fuel price adjustment for July had been decreased by 37 paisa per unit, which was applied to the August bills.

NEPRA stated that the relief will be provided to consumers in the electricity bills for October 2024.

Those who have already received their bills will see this relief reflected in their November bills.

It was further noted that this adjustment will apply to all consumers of distribution companies, except for lifeline consumers, prepaid customers, and electric vehicle charging stations. It will also not apply to K-Electric customers.
