As Pakistan braces for the summer heat, consumers may finally get some relief in their electricity bills. According to sources, electricity prices are expected to drop significantly in the coming months due to a combination of factors, including reduced fuel costs and increased hydropower generation.
Officials suggest that power tariffs could decrease by Rs 3 to Rs 5 per unit, providing much-needed relief to households and businesses struggling with high energy costs. The potential reduction is attributed to lower international oil and gas prices, improved hydel power production, and government measures to stabilize the power sector.
The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) is expected to review and announce new tariffs soon. If approved, the lower rates will help millions of consumers cope with rising inflation as summer electricity consumption spikes.
