The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has announced a reduction in power tariffs for July, in a major relief for electricity consumers benefiting millions of households across the country.
According to the official notification issued on Wednesday, the electricity tariff for consumers of government-owned distribution companies (DISCOs) has been reduced by 50 paisa per unit, while consumers in Karachi served by K-Electric will see a significant Rs4.03 per unit reduction in their bills.
The revised tariffs will be reflected in July electricity bills.
NEPRA has issued notifications for a reduction in electricity prices as part of the monthly Fuel Cost Adjustment (FCA). Electricity prices have been reduced for K-Electric consumers for the month of April 2025, while a reduction has also been approved for consumers of government distribution companies (DISCOs) for May 2025.
K-Electric had requested NEPRA to reduce the tariff by Rs4.60 per unit under the FCA mechanism. NEPRA had reserved its decision after conducting hearings on the applications submitted by both K-Electric and the DISCOs.
NEPRA had adjourned the hearing at the request of the Power Division. The division had requested that the matter be postponed until a decision is made on the Fuel Cost Adjustment (FCA) request under the uniform tariff framework. However, NEPRA clarified its position, stating that the fuel cost is not linked to any subsidy.
