Power tariff raised by 64 paisa per unit

The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) has once again increased power tariff by 64 paisa per unit. According to sources in Nepra, the tariff was raised under the monthly fuel adjustment formula, and will be implemented from July 1. The consumers will have to pay this additional fuel surcharge in their electricity bills for August.
Sources said the new tariff, which has been finalised after a public hearing will be notified in a couple of days. According to sources, the new tariff will not have any impact on the electricity consumers as the last month's increase will be adjusted in the bills. "Nepra brings this change in the tariff every month under the fuel adjustment formula," sources said. The government had earlier increased the tariff in June after the rise in furnace oil prices.
