The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) on Wednesday concluded a public hearing into a petition filed by the Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA-G) on behalf of all power distribution companies (DISCOs) on the power decrease under the monthly fuel cost adjustment (FCA) for June.

The public hearing was presided over by the Nepra Chairman Waseem Mukhtar, while officials from CPPA-G, members of the business community, representatives from the Ministry of Energy, journalists, and the general public were also present in the hearing.

The CPPA-G has sought a 65 paisa per unit reduction in the power tariff for June. If approved, this adjustment will only apply for one month.

The adjustment would be applicable to all DISCOs’ consumers, except lifeline users, protected consumers, prepaid users, and electric vehicle charging stations.

The adjustment would also not apply to K-Electric consumers.

The authority will issue a detailed decision after reviewing the data.
