Electricity tariffs have steadily increased over the years, making it difficult for average consumers to afford their monthly bills and a significant portion of generated electricity is lost due to theft and inefficiencies in the distribution system, leading to higher costs for paying consumers. The cost of generating electricity also often depends on imported fuel. The price of this fuel tends to fluctuate and drives up electricity prices. On the other hand, the government has been reducing subsidies on electricity to meet IMF conditions, leading to higher costs for consumers.
This is no less than a nightmare for the people. The devaluation of the Pakistani rupee increases the cost of imported fuel and technology, further driving up electricity generation costs. Slow implementation of energy sector reforms has exacerbated the situation, delaying potential relief for consumers.
