NEPRA Raises Power Tariff by Rs 1.79 per Unit from January

The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has increased electricity prices across the country by Rs 1.79 per unit with effect from January 1. The decision has been forwarded to the federal government and will be implemented after its approval.

Currently, the average base electricity tariff in the country stands at Rs 31.59 per unit.

Meanwhile, NEPRA has also announced a reduction of 93 paisa per unit under the fuel price adjustment for November. According to the notification, consumers across the country, including Karachi, will receive relief in their January electricity bills.

However, the reduction will not apply to lifeline consumers.

Once implemented, the net impact of both decisions is expected to result in an overall increase in electricity prices.
