Karachi residents are bracing for an increase in their electricity bills as the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has given the green light to raise electricity rates to Rs. 4.45 per unit in the city.
This decision comes as part of NEPRA’s quarterly adjustment for the previous fiscal year, which has now been approved. However, it is important to note that this increase in rates has been sent to the federal government for official notification.
Consumers in Karachi should be prepared for some adjustments in their electricity bills, as the additional charges will be applied in October and November 2023, as per the notification.
NEPRA’s decision marks a significant hike in electricity rates, as they are set to rise from the previous Rs. 1.49 to the new rate of Rs. 4.45 per unit. This increase is likely to impact households and businesses alike, prompting them to carefully manage their energy consumption to mitigate the financial impact.
