MABAD: The National Electric Power and Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) will decide on the proposition of scaling down power tariff by Rs 1 .62
per unit on Tuesday.
Sources said that the Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA) had filed a petition in NEPRA seeking reduction in electricity prices under the head of Fuel Adjustment Surcharge (FAS) in the month of January.
It was noted in the plea that electricity provided to cons
umers in January, at the rate of Rs 8.25
per uni
t, was far greater than th
e cost of production of electricity. Therefore, it urged that cons
umers be afforded relief by reducing th
e cost of
per unit electricity by Rs 1.62.
