NEPRA Considers Rs1.73 Per Unit Electricity Hike
Published On 29 Sep, 2026
9 News HD: NEPRA is considering an increase in electricity prices by Rs1.73 per unit for the month of August under the fuel adjustment.
The proposed increase is based on the higher cost of fuel used to produce electricity during August. NEPRA will review the request before making a final decision.
If approved, electricity consumers may have to pay an additional Rs1.73 per unit in their bills. The increase could raise monthly electricity bills, especially for consumers who use more electricity.
The proposed hike comes as people are already facing high electricity costs. Households and businesses may see an extra amount added to their bills if NEPRA approves the request.
NEPRA will examine the details before announcing its final decision. Consumers will know the actual impact once the authority decides whether to approve the proposed increase.
People are advised to check their upcoming electricity bills for any fuel adjustment charges. The final decision from NEPRA will determine whether the Rs1.73 per unit increase will be applied.
