In a country already grappling with high inflation, Pakistanis are now encountering the added challenge of increased electricity rates.
The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority has approved a substantial rise in electricity tariffs, with base rates climbing by Rs 5.72 per unit and fuel charges by Rs 3.41 per unit. This hike will impact both residential and commercial customers.
Under the new tariff structure, even a slight increase in electricity usage can push consumers into higher billing brackets. For instance, exceeding 200 units per month moves a consumer into a higher tariff category, resulting in increased electricity costs. Conversely, reducing consumption below 200 units allows customers to return to a lower tariff bracket after six months, potentially lowering their bills.
These changes arrive at a time when many households are already struggling to manage expenses due to increased prices of essential goods. The anticipated effect of the new rates is that electricity will become even less affordable for the average consumer, exacerbating financial pressures. For a clearer understanding of how these adjustments will impact your monthly electricity bills, here is an estimate based on the revised tariffs:With these new rates, it will be crucial for Pakistani households to manage their electricity consumption to keep their costs under control.
As the new charges come into effect, it is important for consumers to be mindful of their electricity usage to avoid being hit with higher tariffs.
