The government is preparing to give another electric shock to the people. The price is likely to increase further.
The National Electricity Regulatory Authority will hear on February 23 the request given by the Central Power Purchasing Authority (CPPA) for increasing the price in Nepra, in which electricity will be increased by Rs 7 13 paise per unit for a month. It is likely to happen.
CPPA has submitted a power hike request to NEPRA, asking for the additional month of fuel price adjustment in January.
In case of approval of the increase in the price of electricity, there will be a burden of more than 66 billion rupees on the consumers.
