ISLAMABAD: The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) Wednesday announced providing Rs0.22/unit relief to power consumers in their next month’s bills. The authority held a public hearing on the petition of the Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA) that it had filed before the regulator to determine the monthly Fuel Charges Adjustment (FCA) for the month of June 2021. The regulator has tentatively worked out that the Power Distribution Companies (DISCOs) should return 22 paisa per unit to consumers in their next month bills. This relief will be given because the DISCOs had charged the higher cost from the consumers while the actual charges were low. The regulator will issue its decision in a few days and then it would be applicable.
It is worth mentioning that this relief will be not available to lifeline power consumers (who use less than 50 units a month), agricultural and K-Electric consumers. The NEPRA chairman also expressed displeasure over violation of the economic merit order.
