NEPRA is set to conduct a hearing on this matter on January 31. The CPPA, in its plea, highlighted that 12.92 billion electric units were generated at a cost of Rs7.61 per unit, whereas the reference cost for September was established at Rs7.7 per unit.
In the midst of the Pakistani government's commitment to eliminate power sector subsidies, there appears to be no relief for the inflation-affected populace, as another electricity tariff hike looms.
Struggling with the impact of soaring prices, the Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA) has formally requested the national power regulator to increase the power tariff by Rs5.32 per unit, citing fuel adjustments for December 2023. If approved, consumers already burdened by high utility costs will face additional financial strain.

Earlier this month, the power regulator raised the electricity tariff by Rs4.12 per unit for consumers, attributing it to fuel adjustment charges for November of the preceding year.
