Overview
- NEPRA, which issued its order Friday, approved an extra 100MW from Iran and ratified the tariff for the existing 104MW supply.
- The tariff is paid in US dollars and links a variable charge to the monthly OPEC crude basket, with the delivered rate stated at about 12.40 US cents per kWh.
- Amendment 8 adds a take‑or‑pay floor of 15 million kWh each month that starts once the Polan–Gabd/Jiwani line is energized, securing supply for Pakistan’s Makran coast that lacks other near‑term options.
- The regulator rebuked CPPA‑G for filing amendments after signing them, cited breaches of EPPR 2022, and ordered on‑time submissions going forward.
- NEPRA sent the decision for Gazette notification within 30 days and said it will publish the tariff itself if the federal government does not act in time.
