Nepra orders Rs52.6bn power bills refund over 3 months
These decisions follow an earlier relief measure, under which all DISCOs were instructed to reimburse Rs1.9/unit
ISLAMABAD: The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) Friday directed state-run DISCOs and K-Electric to refund a hefty Rs52.6 billion, cutting Rs1.55 per unit from electricity bills spanning May to July 2025. The decision was part of a negative quarterly tariff adjustment (QTA) for the third quarter of fiscal year 2024-25. Lifeline and prepaid meter users are excluded from this benefit.
In a related consumer relief development, Nepra also directed K-Electric to reflect a negative fuel cost adjustment (FCA) of Rs3.6396 per unit — based on fuel charges from February 2025 — in its May bills. This adjustment will apply to all consumers except lifeline, domestic protected, prepaid, and electric vehicle (EV) charging station users. A separate directive for Ex-WAPDA DISCOs (XWDISCOs) also mandates a negative fuel adjustment of Rs0.2883 per unit in May bills, tied to March 2025 fuel variations.
These decisions follow an earlier relief measure, under which all DISCOs were instructed to reimburse Rs1.9 per unit — amounting to Rs56.38 billion — for the second quarter of the same fiscal year, implemented in electricity bills for April through June 2025.
