NEPRA likely to reduce power tariff

In a much-needed move for electricity consumers, the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has completed a hearing regarding a proposal to reduce power tariff by 57 paisa per unit for one month.

The potential reduction, if approved, could provide significant relief to consumers who have been struggling with soaring electricity bills. NEPRA will now review the data presented during the hearing before making a final decision.

If the proposal is approved, this reduction could result in a collective relief of over Rs 7 billion for consumers across the country. The decision is eagerly awaited, as many households and businesses look for financial respite amid rising utility costs.

The outcome of NEPRA’s decision could offer temporary relief but would still leave the larger issue of high electricity rates as a pressing concern for many Pakistanis.
