The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) has reduced the rates by providing relief to electricity consumers. According to the notification, the electricity price for DISCOs consumers has been reduced by Rs 1.79 per unit under the monthly fuel cost adjustment for July.
The notification states that the price reduction will be applicable to both DISCOs and K-Electric consumers. However, Lifeline consumers, prepaid meter consumers and electric vehicle charging stations will not benefit from this relief.
According to Nepra, this reduction will be visible to consumers in their September electricity bills. It should be noted that the Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA) had earlier requested a reduction of Rs 1.69 per unit under the July fuel cost adjustment, which was approved after consideration.
