The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has increased electricity prices by 75 paisa per unit for the entire country.
According to the notification issued by NEPRA, the hike has been made under the monthly fuel cost adjustment for June 2026. It will also apply to K-Electric consumers.
The notification stated that the increase in electricity prices will be reflected in this month’s August bills.
CPPA had requested an increase of Rs 1.20 per unit for the June adjustment.
It is pertinent to mention that on June 30, CPPA had also filed a request for an 82 paisa per unit increase in electricity prices. NEPRA held a hearing on it today but reserved the decision. NEPRA will announce its verdict after reviewing the data.
Earlier, in the May adjustment, electricity was also made 34 paisa per unit more expensive nationwide.
