KARACHI – Pakistanis get sigh of relief as Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced cut in electricity tariffs, lowering rates by Rs7.59 per unit, and people can now save thousands or rupees in utility bills.
Electricity consumers will get substantial savings with government’s recent reduction in power tariffs. The price cuts will lower electricity bills, especially during the approaching summer months – when electricity consumption increased due to usage of AC and other equipment.
Under the new electricity pricing structure, consumers can expect to pay less for their power usage. The reduction in rates is expected to benefit millions of households and industrial users across the country.
