ISLAMABAD: The consumers of XWAPDA power distribution companies (DISCOs) are likely to get relief of Rs. 1.50 per unit in power tariff for next three months as National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) on Tuesday concluded a public hearing into the DISCOs petition under quarterly adjustment mechanism for third quarter of the current fiscal year 2024-25.
The public hearing was presided over by Nepra Chairman Waseem Mukhtar while officials of DISCOs, Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA-G), members of the business community, representatives of the Ministry of Power, journalists and the general public were also present in the hearing.
DISCOs submitted a request for relief of Rs. 51.493 billion for the said period.

The adjustment will apply to all customers of the discoms, including KE, except for lifeline customers, protected customers, prepaid customers and electric vehicle charging stations. The authority will issue a detailed decision after reviewing the data.
