ISLAMABAD:

Consumers are likely to face an increase of up to 19 paisa per unit in electricity tariffs on account of fuel cost adjustment (FCA) for August 2025. The price revision will reflect in the monthly bills of October.

The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) conducted a public hearing at its headquarters on Monday to consider a petition filed by the Central Power Purchasing Agency-Guarantee (CPPA-G), seeking an increase of up to 19 paisa per unit in the electricity price.

CPPA-G demanded the tariff hike due to fluctuations in prices of fuels used in power generation. The power-sector regulator reserved its decision, which would be issued later after detailed scrutiny of data.
