The National Electric Power Regularity Authority on Thursday refused to accept the federal government’s request for an increase in power surcharge.
The government had filed a petition requesting a surcharge of Rs3.82 for consumers, following the support of additional power prices during the ECC meeting. However, Nepra Chairman Tauseef H. Farooqi objected to the request, citing that consumers who had paid their bills were already being charged a surcharge of Rs3.39, while those who had not paid were still receiving relief.
