The rise comes under the monthly fuel adjustment for January and is expected to add over Rs15 billion to the overall consumer burden.
Nepra’s decision follows a request from the Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA) for a Rs1.78 per unit hike. After verifying the data, Nepra finalized the increase, citing higher reliance on imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) and a reduction in hydropower generation as key factors driving the price adjustment.
