K-Electric requests NEPRA to reduce power tariff for Karachiites

KARACHI: The power utility responsible for supply electricity to Karachi and suburbs has submitted a petition to National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA), seeking to reduce power tariff on account of Fuel Charges Adjustment (FCA).

The K-Electric is reported to have requested to decrease the power tariff by Rs. 1.88 per unit on account of monthly FCA, and a decrease of Rs. 7.83 per unit on account of quarterly adjustment.

NEPRA has fixed November 30 to pick up K-electric’s requests for hearing.

It may be recalled that NEPRA on November 11 had asked K-Electric to return Rs 5.13 per unit (Rs8.59 billion) to consumers under monthly fuel charges adjustment (FCA) for September.
