ISLAMABAD: In a sigh of relief for the inflation-hit masses, the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) is likely to slash the power tariff by Rs4.21 per unit for K-Electric (KE) consumers on account of fuel charges adjustment (FCA) for the month of August 2022.
According to details, the KE consumers may get relief of Rs7.21 billion as K-Electric has sought a cut for its consumers on account of fuel charges adjustment for the month of August.
NEPRA will conduct a public hearing on KE’s petition for a reduction in power tariff on September 29. With the approval, the people of Karachi will get a relief of Rs7.21 billion. The KE consumers would get relief from next month’s electricity bill.
Earlier this month, it was reported that K-Electric started collecting taxes on behalf of the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) from the citizens of Karachi through the monthly power bills.
