The decision came after NEPRA conducted a public hearing today over a petition submitted by K-Electric on account of fuel charges adjustments (FCA) for November 2022.
K-Electric had filed a petition for a reduction in FCA at the rate of Rs7.04/kwh (per unit) for the month for November 2022, saying that November’s FCA was lower primarily due to a reduction in prices of RLNG, furnace oil, and power purchased from CPPA-G by 18 percent, 15 percent, and 37 percent respectively as compared to September 2022.

It is pertinent to mention here that the FCAs are dependent on changes in global prices of fuel and are passed on to consumer bills under the prescribed rules and regulations of the NEPRA and the Government of Pakistan.
