Overview
- NEPRA closed a public hearing on CPPA-G’s plea for a Re0.3681 per kWh negative fuel charge adjustment for September 2025, with a decision to follow.
- If approved, the cut would return roughly Rs4.5 billion to consumers and extend to K-Electric customers under tariff rationalization approved by the ECC, with exclusions for lifeline, domestic protected, EV charging stations and prepaid users.
- Actual generation totaled 12,592 GWh, 5.33% below the 13.30 BKWh reference, as widespread solar adoption and weaker industrial activity reduced demand.
- Officials reported reference fuel cost at Rs7.6554 per kWh versus an actual near Rs7.28, while a blast on the SNGPL network cut LNG supply to about 400 mmcfd, prompting greater furnace-oil use and peak demand near 22,000 MW with daytime load drops of around 6,000 MW.
- Interveners challenged NEPRA over past K-Electric tariff revisions from about Rs39 to Rs32 per unit, and Member (Law) Amina Ahmad said the decision reflected the authority’s collective judgment.
