The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) notified negative fuel cost adjustment (FCA) of 76 paise per unit for ex-Wapda distribution companies (Discos) and 49 paise for consumers of K-Electric in January’s bills.
The refunds were approved for Discos’ consumers for November and KE’s users in October.
The KE had proposed a 27-paisa per unit refund for October consumption, which was increased to 49-paisa by the regulator. On the other hand, Discos had proposed a 63-paisa refund, which was increased to 76-paisa.
Utilities incur fuel charge adjustments due to global fuel price variations and generation mix changes. The notification said the negative FCA would apply to all consumer categories except domestic consumers below 300 units monthly consumption, prepaid metering consumers and electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS).
