Islamabad: The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has provisionally renewed K-Electric’s (KE) licence for six months.

The Order states that the Authority observed that the Regulatory Meeting had discussed the issue of the KE license and determined to hold a public hearing on it.
K-Electric should be permitted to continue its operations up until the end of the regulatory process, which might take 3-6 months.
