ISLAMABAD: National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) notified an increase of Rs 1.90 per unit in electricity prices on account of fuel charges adjustment (FCA) for month of May 2023.

 Central Power Purchasing Authority (CPPA) had sought Rs 2.09 increase as power distribution companies (DISCOs) demanded adjustment for May 2023.

 Nepra conducted hearing on petition. Additional amount will be collected in bills for month of July 2023. This hike in power tariff under head FCA of May will not be applicable to Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS) and lifeline consumers while power distribution companies (DISCOs) will reflect increase in power price separately in consumers' bills.
