Federal Minister for Energy Sardar Awais Leghari has announced a decrease in electricity prices for the public in celebration of Eidul Fitr.

Leghari stated that there has been a reduction of Rs 3.82 per unit in electricity bills for April, with the overall decrease being due to adjustments in fuel prices.

He mentioned that fuel price adjustments for the current month have been lowered from Rs 7.06 per unit to Rs 4.92 per unit, resulting in a decrease of Rs 2.14 per unit in fuel costs.

The previous fuel price adjustment was Rs 4.43, which has now been reduced to Rs 2.75, leading to a decrease of Rs 1.68 per unit in electricity bills.

Leghari clarified that based on the notification of fuel price adjustments, there has been a decrease in electricity bills compared to the previous month.

He also explained that Nepra establishes the reference tariff for the entire year at the start of each year, while the Fuel Price Adjustment (FPA) determines the cost of electricity generation for one month. A drop in fuel prices results in lower prices for consumers compared to the tariff set by NEPRA.
