NEPRA Proposes Fixed Charges up to Rs 1,000 for Domestic Consumers

Islamabad: NEPRA has proposed implementing fixed charges for domestic electricity consumers starting July 1, potentially affecting millions of households across the country.

The proposal, submitted to the federal government for final approval, integrates fixed charges into the average basic electricity tariff.

The proposed charges are tiered based on monthly consumption: Rs 200 for 301-400 units, Rs 400 for 401-500 units, Rs 600 for 501-600 units, Rs 800 for 601-700 units, and Rs 1,000 for usage above 700 units.

Previously, fixed charges were not included in the tariff for domestic customers. The final decision on the new tariff structure will be made after the federal government’s review. – INP
