ISLAMABAD: The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) on Friday increased power tariff by Rs1.95 per unit on account of fuel cost adjustment (FCA) for August 2021.
According to a notification, the Central Power Purchasing Agency-Guarantee (CPPA-G) had requested a positive FCA of Rs2.7 per unit. The authority approved a positive FCA of Rs1.95 per unit.
The FCA for August 2021 will be charged in the billing month of October 2021, which will be paid by all consumer categories of XW-distribution companies, except for lifeline consumers. The Rs1.95 increase will put a burden of Rs30.4 billion on consumers
