The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) on Thursday rejected K-Electric’s summary seeking Rs 14/unit increase in power prices to provide relief to the Karachiites.
A NEPRA official said that the authorities have expressed reservations over increasing electricity prices as the metropolis is facing severe power crisis.
He said that a total of Rs 8 per unit reduction has been observed in the electricity rate due to which K-Electric has been directed to compensate the money.
NEPRA has also said that the decision of raising the prices of electricity will be taken afterwards.
