National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) ne bijli ke rate me Rs0.0796 per unit ka izafa manzoor kar liya hai, jo October 2025 ke bills me show hoga. Yeh izafa Fuel Cost Adjustment (FCA) ke zariye August ke mahine ke liye kiya gaya hai.
NEPRA ke notification ke mutabiq, yeh adjustment tamam power distribution companies, including K-Electric, par lagu hoga. Yeh izafa un ups and down ko cover karta hai jo fuel cost me power generation ke dauran aaye the.
Power companies ne Rs0.19 per unit tak izafa maanga tha, lekin NEPRA ne usse kam kar ke Rs0.0796 per unit tak manzoori di. Yeh izafa lifeline consumers, electric vehicle charging stations, aur prepaid meter users par lagu nahi hoga.
NEPRA ke Member (Technical) ne kaha ke power sector ki inefficiencies phir se samne aayi hain. Unho ne bataya ke Guddu 747MW plant ke open-cycle operation ki wajah se Rs956 million ka extra kharcha hua, jab ke Part Load Adjustment Charges (PLAC) lagbhag Rs3.9 billion tak pohanch gaye.
Unho ne yeh bhi kaha ke HVDC transmission system ke underutilization aur system constraints ne bhi financial pressure barhaya.
Apni dissenting note me Member (Technical) ne is faislay par tanqeed karte hue kaha ke in inefficiencies ka bojh already mehngai se pareshan consumers par daalna na-insafi hai, khaaskar jab yeh masail National Transmission and Despatch Company (NTDC) se related hon.
