The notification issued by NEPRA states that K-Electric’s tariff was adjusted in December 2024, while the rest of the country’s adjustment was made in January 2025.

K-Electric had requested a reduction of Rs 4.95 per unit.

The reduction came as a result of fluctuations in energy prices for power generation plants. The Central Power Purchasing Agency Guarantee Limited (CPPA-G) requested a Rs2 per unit decrease in electricity charges for January 2025 under the Fuel Charges Adjustment (FCA).
