KE reduces power tariff by Rs4.87 per unit

Islamabad: The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) on Thursday approved slashing the power Tariff for K-electric consumers by Rs4.87 per unit.

According to details, the tariff has been reduced under the fuel adjustment charges of August. This would provide relief to K-electric consumers of Rs7 billion.

However, the reduction would not apply to lifeline consumers of KE.

Chairman NEPRA has said that K-Electric’s production and CPPA’s numbers do not match. 

He added that the government is bearing a loss of Rs15 per unit, which the consumer ultimately pays.
