ISLAMABAD: Passing on the benefit of fuel adjustment to the consumers, the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) has further decreased power tariffs by Rs1.23 per unit for the consumers of K-Electric and Rs2.08 per unit for the users of all other distribution companies (Discos).
The Rs13 billion worth fuel adjustments would be passed on to consumers during the billing month of April 2015 out of which Rs1 billion would be received by K-Electric users and Rs12 billion would be other consumers. The rate-cut would not apply on those users who consume less than 50 units of electricity per month.
Fuel worth Rs55.75 billion was spent for the generation of 6.8 billion units of electricity consumed by the users of all Discos apart from those of K-Electric. The actual fuel cost for January 2015 was determined at Rs9.27 per unit against corresponding determined fuel charges of 11.36 per unit.
