CPPA asks Nepra for Rs2.40 per unit cut in poer tariff

ISLAMABAD: The Central Power Purchase Authority (CPPA) has requested the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) for Rs2.40 per unit reduction in the power tariff for the month of August.
It was said in the application that fuel cost was Rs4.50 on production of 10 billion units electricity sold in August and therefore, Rs2.40 per unit reduction in the power tariff for the month of August should be made under fuel adjustment.
The Nepra will conduct the hearing of the plea for reduction in electricity price on October 10. It is pertinent to mention here that Rs2.19 per unit reduction in the power tariff was also made in the month of July; however, it will not be applicable on the consumers of K-Electric and the consumers consuming less than 50 units per month.
