Overview
- The Power Division said Monday that June electricity bills will not rise after it limited April’s Fuel Charges Adjustment to Rs1.73 per unit.
- Officials said spot LNG purchases, resumed Qatari shipments, extra local gas, and greater use of furnace oil and imported coal helped avoid a Rs5–6 per unit jump and about Rs38 billion in added costs.
- A Quarterly Tariff Adjustment of minus Rs1.93 per unit for January to March will apply for three months, yielding roughly a Re0.20 per unit credit when set against the April fuel charge.
- NEPRA reviewed the quarterly reduction on Tuesday and, according to Business Recorder, granted in-principle approval with the formal order still to follow.
- Separately, NEPRA set a 12.40 US cents per kWh rate for 204MW of Iranian power for Makran, and business groups warn final industrial prices could exceed Rs44 per unit once local losses, fees, and heavy capacity payments are added.
