ISLAMABAD: The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) has reduced the national average uniform electricity tariff by 62 paise per unit for the next six months, effective January 1.<\/p>\n
According to a notification issued late on Wednesday night, the regulator has determined separate consumer-end tariffs for each distribution company (ex-Wapda Discos) in view of their differing revenue requirements and permitted levels of transmission and distribution (T&D) losses.<\/p>\n
For CY26, the national average tariff has been set at Rs33.38 per kWh, down from Rs34.00 per kWh in 2025-26.<\/p>\n
The Gujranwala, Quetta, Multan, Sukkur, Hyderabad, Peshawar, Tribal Areas and Hazara electric power companies had filed multi-year tariff petitions for the period 2025-26 to 2029-30, which have now been determined by the regulator.<\/p>\n
In line with policy guidelines issued by the Ministry of Energy (Power Division) and following the federal cabinet\u2019s approval of the annual rebasing of consumer-end tariffs with effect from Jan 1, Nepra rebased the tariffs and issued its determination for the calendar year January-December 2026.<\/p>\n
The determined tariffs have been communicated to the federal government for submission of the uniform tariff application.<\/p>\n
The total revenue requirement of ex-Wapda Discos has been projected at Rs3.379 trillion, comprising Rs2.923tr for power purchase costs and Rs456.15 billion for distribution companies\u2019 margins and prior-year adjustments, based on projected sales of 101,234 gigawatt-hours during CY26.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
