Islamabad September 20 2023: Based on information from the Central Power Purchasing Agency Guarantee Limited (CPPA-G), NEPRA is poised to raise electricity rates by PKR 1.8290 per unit for August 2023 due to the high fuel cost adjustment (FCA).
As per CPPA’s data, the actual fuel charges for EX-WAPDA DISCOs in August 2023 amounted to PKR 8.4746 per unit, marking a PKR 1.8290 per unit increase from the reference tariff.
Nevertheless, NEPRA has established a reference fuel price of PKR 6.6457 per unit for EX-WAPDA DISCOs for August 2023, following CPPA-G’s proposal.
The final decision by NEPRA is expected on September 27th, after considering input from all stakeholders.
