ISLAMABAD: The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) will review the Prime Minister’s power package for industrial and agricultural consumers on October 5. The review will also consider whether the existing tariff of Rs22.98 per unit needs to be revised.
The regulator has identified three main points for the six-monthly review. These include whether the package should be temporarily suspended due to current fuel prices, whether the tariff should be raised according to the actual marginal cost and when any revised tariff should come into effect.
NEPRA will consider June 2026, October 2026 or another period as the effective date for any tariff revision.
The regulator said the review is intended to maintain a balance between costs and revenue under the approved package. The marginal tariff could be adjusted based on the outcome of the review.

For the review, the Power Division has provided plant-wise hourly generation data, monthly electricity consumption figures, subsidized consumption details and information on the system’s hourly marginal cost.
Under the package, industrial and agricultural consumers currently receive additional electricity at Rs22.98 per unit. The rate was brought down from around Rs34 per unit for industrial consumers and Rs38 per unit for agricultural consumers.
The package offers additional electricity at a concessional tariff from November 2025 to October 2028. It is available to industrial and agricultural consumers across Pakistan, including those served by K-Electric.
