ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Power Division Sardar Awais Ahmed Khan Leghari has voiced concerns over the multiple decisions taken by Nepra about K-Electric arguing these will pose serious implications for the power sector.
In his X tweet, Leghari said that the Ministry of Energy (Power Division) has observed some serious concerns regarding Nepra’s multiple decisions about K-Electric’s licenses for generation, transmission, distribution, and supply. These decisions also touch upon the investment plan for the upcoming multi-year tariff period.
“These rulings have significant long-term effects on consumer tariffs and the federal government’s subsidies within a uniform tariff regime.”
He asserted that the Power Division was planning to review the recently issued determinations related to transmission, distribution, and supply. Meanwhile, a reconsideration of the earlier generation tariff decision is awaiting Nepra’s attention, despite being submitted back in December 2024. “This delay poses serious financial implications for the power sector and its subsidies.”
“Additionally, if certain areas are not addressed, they could negatively impact consumers and the regulatory environment, potentially hindering Pakistan’s efforts to encourage private participation in the distribution sector.”
