ISLAMABAD: Electricity users in Pakistan might see yet another increase in power charges following the request by the Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA) for approval of a fuel adjustment charge (FAC) of Rs. 1.20 per unit for June 2026 from the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA).
The increase, if approved, will add a further financial burden of above Rs. 18 billion on consumers in just one month.
This increase has been requested under the Fuel Charges Adjustment (FCA) that adjusts the tariff based on changes in the cost of fuel required for the production of electricity.
NEPRA will be hearing CPPA’s petition on July 29 for its decision-making process. Depending on regulatory approval, the additional charge will be applied to consumers all over Pakistan in accordance with NEPRA’s FCA regulation and consumer category notifications.
This increase, despite an overall fall in Pakistan’s average fuel cost for electricity production by 1 percent from the previous month to Rs. 9.0 per unit in June, the NEPRA report suggests.
