In a recent development, the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has approved a Rs 3.5 per unit increase in the cost of electricity. This decision, prompted by the October fuel price adjustment, aims to address the evolving dynamics in the energy sector.
As per the official notification from NEPRA, consumers can anticipate the adjustment to be reflected in their December electricity bills. It’s important to highlight that while this move is expected to impact regular consumers, it will not apply to Lifeline customers and those served by K-Electric.
The decision to raise the electricity tariff has raised concerns among consumers already grappling with the challenges of rising inflation and economic uncertainties. The implications of this adjustment on household budgets and the broader economic landscape remain subjects of discussion and observation.
