Convoluted tariffs

As a local business owner from Sukkur, I have firsthand experience of the challenges posed by the convoluted electricity tariff structure in Pakistan. The complexity of the tariff structure makes it nearly impossible for the average consumer to understand their electricity bill, leading to significant difficulties in planning monthly expenses. The unpredictability of electricity costs is a burden on households and also severely impacts businesses and industries. Without a clear understanding of how tariffs are calculated, it is challenging to forecast expenses and plan activities effectively. This uncertainty hampers economic growth and stifles the potential for businesses to thrive. I urge Nepra and the other relevant authorities to take immediate action to simplify the electricity tariff structure. A more transparent and straightforward system will empower consumers to manage their finances better and enable businesses to plan their operations with confidence.
