The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) Wednesday increased the electricity tariff by Rs.5.63 per unit on account of monthly fuel adjustment (MFA). The decision was announced after the NEPRA completed a hearing on the Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA) petition seeking a hike in electricity tariff by Rs.5.63 per unit under fuel monthly adjustment for December 2023. The approval will put an additional burden of Rs.49 billion on the power consumers. The consumers will pay an additional amount in next month’s electricity bills.
