The power tariff for Karachi is likely to be raised by Rs11.38 per unit while a Rs9.90 per unit hike is also proposed for public-owned DISCOs as National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) would decide on it today.
According to details, the NEPRA will hold hearing to decide on the hike in terms of fuel adjustment charges for the month of June 2022.
The CPPA shared that the electricity was produced from furnace oil in June with Rs10.48 per unit and the overall power generation stands at Rs36.20.
