KARACHI: The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) has approved a relief of Rs 0.492 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) in K-Electric’s Fuel Charges Adjustment (FCA) for October 2024. This adjustment will be reflected in consumer bills for January 2025.
Fuel charge adjustments account for variations in global fuel prices and changes in the energy generation mix. Utilities pass these costs to consumers after Nepra’s review and approval. When global fuel prices drop, customers benefit from negative adjustments in their bills.
According to Nepra’s notification, the FCA relief will apply to all consumer categories except lifeline consumers, agricultural users, prepaid metering users, and Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS). Rates are determined by Nepra and implemented by the Federal Government.
