ISLAMABAD – Electricity consumers including protected and non-protected in Pakistan will not see any inflated prices during this year 2026 as the government has decided to keep the base tariff unchanged.

While NEPRA had previously approved separate tariffs for government-owned Discos and K-Electric for the year 2026, the new policy ensures that electricity prices remain consistent for all consumers, including both protected and non-protected households.
