ISLAMABAD: Electricity consumers in Pakistan likely to get further reduction in power tariffs as part of quarterly and fuel price adjustments.
The price decrease is anticipated to reflect in the billing cycles for August, September, and October 2025.
Power distribution companies submitted a request to the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) for the fourth quarterly adjustment, with a hearing held on August 4, 2025.
The proposed quarterly adjustment is expected to result in a negative tariff of Rs1.89 per unit, primarily due to an amended agreement with power generation companies.
This adjustment will likely lead to an additional reduction of Rs0.34 per unit in August bills under the quarterly adjustment mechanism.
Additionally, a fuel price adjustment request for June 2025 was submitted to NEPRA on July 16, 2025. This adjustment is expected to reduce August bills by Rs0.78 per unit.
In July 2025, consumers already benefited from a negative fuel price adjustment of Rs0.50 per unit, and a further reduction of Rs0.28 per unit is anticipated for August bills under the same mechanism.
