The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has approved a reduction of PKR 3.64 per unit in fuel charges for K-Electric (KE) consumers in Karachi.
As per the details, this adjustment, based on February 2025 data, will be reflected in May 2025 electricity bills of Karachi consumers.
The decision comes after KE filed a request for a downward revision due to falling global fuel prices and changes in the energy sources used to generate power.
NEPRA reviewed the data and granted the fuel charges adjustment (FCA), offering some relief to households and businesses already facing high inflation.
However, NEPRA has temporarily held back PKR 3 billion from this adjustment. This amount relates to costs associated with generation inefficiencies and will be adjusted later after reviewing KE’s pending claims.
Fuel charges are regularly adjusted based on international fuel prices and the mix of energy used in power generation. These costs are reviewed by NEPRA before being passed on to customers. When fuel prices fall, consumers benefit from lower charges.
This particular adjustment will not apply to lifeline users, protected domestic consumers, electric vehicle charging stations, or those on prepaid plans.
