The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) has raised the power tariff by Rs1.51 per unit on account of fuel adjustment for the month of May 2012, Express News reported on Wednesday.

The Central Power Purchase Agency (CPPA) had proposed an increase of Rs 1.52 per unit in power tariff.

The Ministry of Power and Electricity considered that the hike in power tariff was “urgent” owing to the expensive equipment used in power generation.

The tariff will be applicable from December 2012.
