NEPRA likely to cut power tariff by Rs0.65/unit for June

Consumers are likely to receive relief in their electricity bills through a fuel charges adjustment for June 2025. This is due to a drop in energy prices used for power generation. NEPRA may reduce the power tariff by Rs0.6541 per kWh under the monthly FCA. It has scheduled a public hearing on July 30, 2025, regarding the proposed FCA for XWDISCOs.

According to the CPPA-G, NEPRA has been requested to approve a reduction of Rs0.6541/kWh in fuel charges. The reference fuel cost was Rs8.3341/kWh, but actual costs came in lower due to cheaper fuel inputs.

In June 2025, 13,744 GWh of electricity was generated. Hydropower led the mix with a 39.36% share, followed by RLNG (16.12%), local coal (10.99%), imported coal (10.16%), and nuclear (10.06%). The highest-cost power source remained imports from Iran at Rs22.5155/kWh. After transmission losses of 2.97% and adjustments, 13,310 GWh were delivered to DISCOs at an average cost of Rs7.6800/kWh.
