ISLAMABAD: Electricity users in Pakistan may see another cut in their bills as new quarterly and fuel price adjustments are set to be applied over the coming months, according to a report.
These adjustments are expected to reflect in the electricity bills for August, September, and October 2025. Power companies recently submitted a request to NEPRA for the fourth quarterly adjustment, with a hearing taking place on August 4, 2025.
This proposal suggests a Rs1.89 per unit cut, largely due to revised agreements with power producers. As a result, a reduction of Rs0.34 per unit may appear in the August bills.
Separately, a fuel cost adjustment request for June 2025 was filed with NEPRA on July 16, which is expected to reduce August bills by another Rs0.78 per unit.
In July, consumers had already received a benefit of Rs0.50 per unit from a fuel adjustment, and an additional Rs0.28 reduction is expected this August through the same route.
Earlier updates also indicated that electricity prices may continue to fall across the country. The CPPA has requested a Rs1.75 per unit cut for the fourth quarter of the 2024–25 fiscal year.
This reduction, once approved, will be applied to all government-run distribution companies, including K-Electric. Relief will be visible in the bills from August to October 2025.
If more adjustments are cleared for the months of September, October, and November, consumers could receive total relief of up to Rs2.10 per unit.
Meanwhile, K-Electric clarified that it does not hold authority to independently alter consumer tariffs.
The company issued this statement to address public speculation about possible rate hikes, stating that all pricing decisions are governed by the Ministry of Energy under the country’s electricity tariff policy.
