Bad news for power consumers as the National Electricity and Power Regulatory Authority on Wednesday allowed a 46 paisa hike in the electricity price, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

The approval was given under the head of quarterly adjustment charges for the months October-December 2022. 

The 46 paisa/unit increase in power rate will incur an additional burden of Rs15.45 billion on the consumers. 

These additional charges will be taken from the electricity consumers from April-June. 

The Nepra has sent its decision to the federal government which will issue notification in this regard.
