Islamabad :
The government once again dropped an electric bomb on consumers, and the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) approved an increase of Rs7.90 per unit.
The decision has been made in the context of May’s monthly fuel adjustment. The decision will impose a burden of more than Rs 113 billion on consumers. The presidency held a public hearing.
The CPPA had taken a stand that in May, 8.80 per cent electricity was generated from furnace oil, electricity from furnace oil was generated at Rs 33.67 per unit, 10 per cent from local gas and 22.89 per cent from imported LNG. In May, 24.50% of electricity was generated from water.
During the hearing, CPPA officials said that global fuel prices have risen sharply, with LNG cargoes being available for آخر 42 at the end of July, making it impossible to buy them in the current domestic situation. Chairman NEPRA said that we have a situation of load shedding due to non-generation of electricity and high cost of electricity generation. For God’s sake, don’t plant plants on imported fuel anymore.
According to NEPRA Alamiya, CPPAG had submitted an application for an increase of Rs. 7, 96 paise per unit in the case of FCA. FCA customers were charged Rs 3.99 per unit, which was only for 1 month. Will also be for 1 month only, it will be applicable to all discus users except lifeline users, it will not be applicable to electric users either, the authority will issue its detailed decision after further examination of the data. ۔
