Karachi: K-Electric (KE), jo Karachi ki wahid power distribution company hai, ne wazeh kar diya hai ke NEPRA ke zariye elaan ki gayi average power tariff mein Rs7.6 per unit ki reduction ka consumer electricity bills par koi asar nahi hoga.
Company ke spokesperson ke mutabiq, yeh tariff adjustment KE ke Multi-Year Tariff (MYT) determination (FY2024–FY2030) se related hai aur customer billing se iska koi ta’alluq nahi.
“NEPRA ka yeh revision consumer bills par apply nahi hota, is liye bijli ke rates mein kisi qisam ki reduction nahi hogi,” spokesperson ne wazahat ki.
NEPRA ne recent review petition ke baad KE ka average tariff Rs39.97 se ghata kar Rs32.37 per kWh kar diya tha, lekin yeh sirf internal tariff recalibration hai jo company aur regulator ke darmiyan hai — consumer-end par is ka koi asar nahi hoga jab tak Federal Government alag se notification issue na kare.
Is faislay ke baad KE ne ye keh kar apne financial implications par tashweesh ka izhar kiya hai, ke yeh determination unke operations aur service reliability par asar andaz ho sakta hai.
Company ne kaha ke woh NEPRA ke faislay ka detail mein jaiza le rahi hai aur zarurat parne par legal aur regulatory options explore karegi.
