NEPRA has notified a fuel cost adjustment of Rs. 0.75 per unit for August 2026 electricity bills, adding Rs. 9.8 billion to national power costs to cover actual fuel expenses from June 2026. The adjustment applies to all WAPDA-origin DISCOs and K-Electric, with lifeline consumers, EV charging stations, and prepaid customers exempt.
Pakistan's government is seeking an additional Rs. 1.20 per unit fuel cost adjustment in August electricity bills to recover Rs. 15.7 billion for electricity consumed in June. The FCA claim is driven by the non-availability of Qatar's contracted LNG, which forced costlier spot-market purchases, while nationwide electricity demand fell 3.3 per cent year-on-year.
NEPRA has approved a net electricity rate cut of around 80 paisa per unit for June 2026 billing, growing to Rs 1.99 per unit in July and August. The relief results from a Quarterly Tariff Adjustment of Rs 1.99 per unit for Q1 2026 outweighing a concurrent Rs 1.19 per unit Fuel Cost Adjustment for April, delivering roughly Rs 56 billion in total consumer benefit over three months.
NEPRA has cleared a Rs. 4.23/unit fuel cost adjustment for April 2026, raising monthly bills for households above 200 units by an average of Rs. 850.
