Electricity bills to rise further as plea filed for hike in tariff

Electricity bills

The Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA) has asked the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) to increase the price of electricity by $3.41 per unit.

The proposed increase is part of the monthly revision of fuel charges for the month of May, according to the CPPA filing. The regulator will hold a hearing on the application on June 28.

In its statement, CPPA announced that a total of 12.26 billion units of electricity were produced in May. For that period, it was reported to be $9.12 per unit of power generation.

CPPA attributed the need for price increases to rising costs related to fuel.
