A hearing on this request is expected to take place at the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority on February 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a private TV channel, the government has proposed that fixed charges should not be limited to high\u2011consumption users only, but should also apply to both protected and non\u2011protected categories of domestic consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, fixed charges are applied to consumers using more than 300 units of electricity per month. However, under the new proposal, even low\u2011consumption users may fall under this category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the application submitted by the Power Division to NEPRA:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Protected Domestic Consumers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Up to 100 units: <strong>Fixed charge of Rs. 200<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Up to 200 units: <strong>Fixed charge of Rs. 300<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Non\u2011Protected Domestic Consumers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Up to 100 units: <strong>Rs. 275<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Up to 200 units: <strong>Rs. 300<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Up to 300 units: <strong>Rs. 350<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Up to 400 units: <strong>Rs. 400<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Up to 500 units: <strong>Rs. 500<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Higher Consumption Users<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Up to 600 units: <strong>Rs. 675<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>700 units or above: <strong>Rs. 675<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the government has also proposed a reduction in electricity rates for certain consumers. According to the application, a decrease in per\u2011unit charges has been recommended for domestic consumers using 301 to 700 units per month, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>400 units: <strong>Rs. 1.53 reduction per unit<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>500 units: <strong>Rs. 1.25 reduction per unit<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>600 units: <strong>Rs. 1.40 reduction per unit<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>700 units: <strong>91 paisa reduction per unit<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Above 700 units: <strong>49 paisa reduction per unit<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Commercial and Industrial Consumers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Commercial users with a load of 5 kW or above: <strong>Rs. 1.15 reduction per unit<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Industrial consumers: <strong>Up to Rs. 5 reduction per unit<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If approved by NEPRA, these changes will be implemented in the upcoming monthly electricity bills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The federal government of Pakistan is preparing another major change in the power tariff structure and has submitted a proposal to NEPRA to impose fixed charges on domestic consumers.
