Islamabad, Oct 31: The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) concluded a public hearing on October 31, 2024, on the petition submitted by KE regarding provisional monthly fuel charge adjustments (FCA) for the month of September 2024.
The expected relief of proposed FCA is PKR 247 million which will translate to PKR 0.16 per unit. Following the public hearing the regulator will issue a decision clarifying the FCA amount to be passed on to customer bills and the period for which they will be applicable.
Fuel charge adjustments are incurred by utilities due to global variations in fuel prices used to generate electricity, and the changes in generation mix. These costs are reflected in customer bills following NEPRA’s scrutiny and approval. Customers also benefit from negative FCA in their bills when global fuel prices decrease. Rates charged to customer bills are determined by NEPRA and notified by the Federal Government.
