Electricity tariff is likely to be decreased by 4 paisas per unit, as the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) hears a case regarding the cut in electricity tariff today (Wednesday). NEPRA said the reduction in tariff would be made in terms of fuel price adjustment, adding that the expected decrease in tariff was due to an increase in hydel power production. NEPRA said the cost of electricity produced by diesel remained at Rs 19 per unit, while that from hydel power at 8 paisas per unit in August. The country purchased electricity from Iran at Rs 9.50 per unit.
