ISLAMABAD: National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) has allowed Discos to increase tariff by paisa 86 per unit for July 2020 under monthly fuel adjustment mechanism.

The decision will not have any effect on the tariffs of lifeline and agriculture consumers.

Nepra had held hearing on a petition of CCPA-G on September 1, 2020 and deferred the decision linking it to verification of data submitted by NPCC.

According to sources, Power Division will submit a summary to the ECC in its next meeting for approval.

The sources said, total increase on account of quarterly tariff adjustment and monthly tariff adjustment will be around Rs 2.50 per unit.
