Karachi, November 8, 2025: The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has issued its decision regarding CPPA-G’s petition of monthly Fuel Charges Adjustment (FCA) requested for September 2025, indicating relief of PKR 0.4812 per kWh. This will be passed on to customers in their November 2025 bills.
Notified FCA will also be applicable on K-Electric (KE) customers – by way of tariff rationalization as approved by Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) on August 19, 2025 and any difference between the monthly FCA rate determined for KE and notified FCA be made available to KE by way of subsidy.
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.
As per the Regulatory Authority’s decision, the FCA shall be applicable to all the consumer categories except lifeline consumers, domestic protected consumers, Electric Vehicle Charges Stations (EVCS) and prepaid electricity consumers of all categories who opted for prepaid tariff.
