KARACHI – A sigh of relief for electricity consumers as National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) approved reduction of over Rs1.22 per unit in electricity prices for February 2025.
A notification issued by the apex power regulatory authority said the reduction will apply to most consumers, but will not affect lifeline users, electric vehicle charging stations, or those using more than 300 units of electricity.
Electricity Feb Relief
| Consumers | Price Cut |
|---|---|
| DISCOs | Rs. 1.22/unit |
| K-Electric | Rs. 1.23/unit |
The price cuts are part of the monthly Fuel Price Adjustment (FCA), with the reduction for DISCOs reflecting December’s fuel price adjustment, while K-Electric customers benefit from a change in November’s fuel costs.
Consumers can expect the revised rates to be reflected in their February electricity bills, as confirmed by NEPRA’s official notification.
