Bad news for power consumers as the National Electricity and Power Regulatory Authority on Wednesday allowed a 46 paisa hike in the electricity price, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
The approval was given under the head of quarterly adjustment charges for the months October-December 2022.
The 46 paisa/unit increase in power rate will incur an additional burden of Rs15.45 billion on the consumers.
These additional charges will be taken from the electricity consumers from April-June.
The Nepra has sent its decision to the federal government which will issue notification in this regard.
