ISLAMABAD: The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) has allowed Rs7.43 per unit decrease in electricity price for K-Electric (KE), whereas, it allowed an increase of Re0.19 per unit for other parts of the country.

While presiding over public hearings of the KE and Discos regarding FCA, Nepra chairman Tauseef H Farooqui on Tuesday decided to increase the K-Electric quarterly tariff by Rs3.30 per unit for the month of October, November, December 2022 and January 2023 which would be levied in four months from January 2023 to April 2023.

On November monthly fuel charges adjustment of Discos, Central Power Purchasing Agency Guarantee (PPAG) requested for an increase of Rs0.1938 per unit under the FCA; however, according to the Nepra an initial check of the data shows an increase of Rs0.1857 per unit. Nepra said it will be applicable for one month only. It will be applicable to all customers of Discos except lifeline and electric vehicle charging stations. The authority will issue its detailed decision after further scrutiny of the data.

Another public hearing on the federal government’s request regarding uniform tariff of Discos and K-Electric was held. Nepra had approved an average increase of Rs3.30 per unit for the fourth quarter adjustment of the fiscal year 2021-22 for Disco.

KE seeks negative adjustment in its Sept tariff

The federal government wants approval for the same hike for K-Electric for the same tariff. This adjustment will be charged on units consumed in October, November, December 2022 and January 2023. If approved, this adjustment will be levied in four months from January to April 2023.

The Nepra also completed the public hearing on K-Electric’s request for a reduction of Rs7 per unit under FCA.

According to the Nepra’s data analysis, the reduction in November FCA amounts to Rs7.43 per unit. Earlier, the October FCA was charged to consumers at a reduction of Rs2.45 per unit, which was reduced for one month, the NEPRA said. This month’s FCA will be charged to consumers about Rs5 per unit less than last month, added Nepra.

It will be applicable for one month only and it would not be applicable to lifeline customers, domestic customers up to 300 units, agricultural customers, and electric vehicle four-stations. The authority will issue its detailed decision after further scrutiny of the data.

NEPRA’S PUBLIC HEARING 28TH DEC-23: K-ELECTRIC TO REFUND RS7.43/UNIT IN JAN 2023. THIS ADJUSTMENT/RELIEF WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO ALL USER CATEGORIES OF K.E EXCEPT LIFELINE POWER CONSUMERS, DOMESTIC CONSUMERS CONSUMING UP TO 300 UNITS. JUDGE YOURSELF WHAT KIND OF INJUSTICE DECESIONS ARE HEREBY TAKEN. IT IS TO MENTION THAT TARIFFS FOR USERS OF 200 UNITS TO 700 UNITS HAVE BEEN INCREASED ALMOST RS.9.00/UNIT EQUALLY. ACCORDING TO JUSTICE, THE TARIFF OF CONSUMERS UPTO 200 AND 300 UNITS SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCREASED AT MINIMUM. BUT THEY WERE NOT GIVEN RELIEF.◾IT IS A POLITE REQUEST TO THE HIGHER AUTHORITIES TO TAKE IMMEDIATE NOTICE OF THIS INJUSTICE AND, KEEPING IN MIND THE BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS. FURTHERMORE EARLIER 04 RELIEF’S SHOULD ALSO BE GRANTED AND ORDER TO RETURN. ◾ACCORDING TO JUSTICE, THE TARIFF OF CONSUMERS UPTO 200 AND 300 UNITS SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCREASED AT MINIMUM. BUT THEY WERE NOT SPARED. ◾SIMILARLY, WHEN THE FCA IS INCREASED, EVEN THOSE UPTO 200 AND 300 UNITS ARE NOT SPARED. BUT WHEN A DECISION IS MADE TO REFUND FCA RELIEF, A KNIFE IS USED ON THE POOR. WHAT MEASURE OF JUSTICE IS THIS?
