ISLAMABAD: Power consumers in Pakistan are likely to get a major relief, as electricity prices are expected to drop in the country.
As per details, the Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA) filed an application to the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) for the September fuel cost adjustment (FCA).
The authority urged NEPRA to approve the reduction in the power rates. NEPRA will carry out a hearing on October 29 to review the request.
The CPPA stated in its report that a total of 12.59 billion units of power were generated in the last month, while 12.21 billion units were provided to the DISCOs.
The report further stated that the cost of power generation during the month was at Rs 7.09 per unit, in comparison to the reference cost of Rs 7.65 per unit.
The data shows that 37.99% of electricity was generated from hydropower, 9.54% from local coal, 8.10% from imported coal, 14.41% from natural gas, 14.41% from LNG, and 17.69% from nuclear sources.
Only 0.77% of the total power generation came from furnace oil, which remains one of the most expensive fuels.

Despite the price cut, consumers still face high electricity bills due to additional charges like Fuel Price Adjustment (FPA), Financing Cost Surcharge (FCS), quarterly adjustments, and government taxes (GST, electricity duty, and TV fee). This means that while unit rates look lower on paper, the final payable bill often ends up much higher than expected. Understanding these charges can help households save up to 40% on their monthly bills.
