In a move to support households and ease financial pressures, the Power Division has announced significant relief measures for August’s electricity bills. This decision expected to bring some much-needed respite to consumers who have been struggling with high utility costs.
Fuel Price Adjustment Reduced
The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has issued a new notification regarding the fuel price adjustment for electricity. For the month of August, the adjustment will lowered to 2.56 rupees per unit, down from 3.33 rupees per unit in July. This reduction means that consumers will benefit from a savings of 77 paisas per unit on their electricity bills. This decrease is a welcome change for many households facing financial difficulties.
Extended Payment Deadlines by K-Electric
In addition to the fuel price adjustment, K-Electric has announced an extension of the payment deadlines for both July and August bills. The new deadline has extended by 10 days, offering consumers additional time to settle their bills. This extension aimed at providing extra flexibility and reducing immediate financial strain for families.
Adjustment of Late Payment Surcharges
For those who have already paid their bills late and incurred additional surcharges, K-Electric will adjust these charges in the upcoming month. This adjustment intended to alleviate some of the financial burdens caused by late payment fees and provide a fairer approach to billing.
These measures reflect an ongoing effort to support consumers and make electricity more affordable during challenging times. Residents encouraged to stay informed about their local utility provider’s updates and take advantage of the extended deadlines and reduced rates.
