The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has announced a winter relief package for Pakistani electricity consumers, offering a greater discount on every unit consumed from December to February. The Winter Package, approved by NEPRA, provides discounts to consumers who use more electricity, and will be effective for three months, spanning from December to February.
Domestic Customers: Get 30% off Right Now
NEPRA electricity has announced a package offering discounted winter bills for residential and industrial customers. Residential customers will save 30% on extra electricity consumption, equivalent to Rs. 11.42 per unit, while industrial customers will receive an 18% markdown. The package aims to incentivize customers to use electricity wisely during winter, promoting energy efficiency and saving money. Initially, the federal government’s proposal did not cover industrial or commercial consumers, but NEPRA has since extended the benefits to these customers.
Customers in Karachi Must Pay More for Electricity
NEPRA is considering an additional Rs. 8.72 billion to address rising energy costs in Pakistan, including in Karachi. The proposal is part of a quarterly adjustment, aiming to alleviate financial strain for customers already dealing with high utility rates. A hearing will be held by NEPRA on November 20 to further deliberate on the proposal. The Winter Package, offered by NEPRA, provides substantial discounts on winter bills from December to February, saving domestic users up to Rs. 11.42 per unit and industrial customers up to Rs. 5.72 per unit, promoting energy efficiency among consumers.
Conclusion
NEPRA’s Winter Relief Package aims to reduce electricity costs for Pakistani consumers during colder months. It offers discounts of up to Rs. 11.42 per unit for domestic users and Rs. 5.72 per unit for industrial customers, promoting energy efficiency and savings. This initiative supports a broader range of users, balancing affordability and energy sustainability, especially in Karachi.
