KARACHI – A major relief would be provided to electricity consumers in the country’s financial capital as K-Electric sought a price cut in two applications.
National Electric Power Regulatory Authority will conduct a public hearing on KE’s plea for a reduction in power tariff on November 30.
The reduction in electricity tariff will bring a relief of Rs3.1 billion to the customers of the port city.
Reports suggest that an Rs9.71 per unit cut in the power bills has been sought by the K-Electric in those two applications.
Around Rs7 per unit on account of quarterly fuel cost adjustment for the months from July to September besides demanding low-cost electricity on account of monthly fuel price adjustment for October.
Another ‘shock’ for power consumers as NEPRA jacks up electricity charges
Earlier this month, NEPRA lowered the power tariff by Rs5.13 paisas per unit for K-Electric consumers.
