Punjab Government announces electricity bill relief plan for consumers

CM Maryam Nawaz praised for delivering relief in challenging economic times, achieving what many deemed impossible.

Senior Punjab Minister Maryam Aurangzeb has announced detailed relief measures for electricity consumers across the province, aimed at reducing their electricity bills.

The relief, which includes a reduction of Rs14 per unit for consumers using 201 to 500 units, has already begun to take effect.

Approximately 3.5 million consumers in Lahore, Multan, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, and Islamabad are benefiting from this initiative.

This follows Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s earlier announcement of a RS 50 billion relief package for those consuming up to 200 units of electricity.

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has been praised for achieving what many considered impossible, providing relief in challenging economic times.

She reiterated her commitment to easing the financial burden on the public and continuing to deliver on the promises made by the PML-N leadership.

The relief package is part of a broader plan to reduce electricity costs, with future initiatives set to include solar energy solutions.

The government plans to offer free solar systems to consumers using up to 200 units and interest-free solar systems on easy instalments for those using 201 to 500 units.
