ISLAMABAD: (HRNW) The electricity tariff is likely to be increased for K-Electric consumers by Rs1.49 per unit which will put an additional burden of Rs2.78 billion on consumers.
National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) will hear the pleas for another hike in the electricity tariff on Wednesday (tomorrow). K-Electric sought NEPRA to approve Rs1.49 per unit hike in the tariff.
Other than the K-Electric tariff, the power authority will also hear pleas for hiking the electricity tariffs by Rs2.5 per unit in terms of fuel adjustment for the month of May.
