The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has approved a relief of RS1.89 per unit in electricity rate for consumers throughout the country under quarterly adjustment charges from April to June 2025.
The power rate cut, expected to attract RS55.87 billion, will be applied throughout the country, including K-Electric consumers. However, users of Lifeline and Prepaid meters are excluded from the benefit.

The adjustment will be effective for three months, from August to October 2025, subject to the final approval of the federal government.
The decision occurs after the distribution companies requested rates reductions under the quarterly mechanism. Nepra held a public hearing on August 4 before giving approval.
Quarterly tariff adjustments are used to reconcile costs related to energy generation and capacity charges, separated from monthly fuel price settings.
