ISLAMABAD: The energy regulator has approved an increase of Rs1.55 per unit (kilowatt-hour) in rates of power distribution companies under the quarterly tariff adjustment mechanism for September-December 2021 to generate Rs39 billion revenue.
The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority said it had already conducted a public hearing on the matter on April 28.
The hike will apply to all consumers, including lifeline consumers using up to 50 units per month and some industrial users covered under a support package.
K-Electric consumers are exempted from the tariff increase.
