Karachi, October 24: Based on KE’s petition for Quarterly Adjustments for April to June 2022, NEPRA has determined Quarterly Tariff variation for the period applicable on the July 2022 to September 2022. NEPRA has announced PKR 12.6818 /kWh for the quarter. The determinations are in accordance with the mechanism given in KE’s Multi Year Tariff whereby changes in Fuel prices, generation and power purchase mix are passed through along with certain annual adjustments.
Per Government of Pakistan’s Uniform Tariff policy applicable across the country, these variations are not likely to impact consumers. However, the final decision will be based upon Government’s notification.
