ISLAMABAD: The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) increased the power tariff by Rs5.94 per unit on account of fuel charges adjustment (FCA) for January 2022.
The FCA for January 2022 will be charged with the bill of March 2022, which will be paid by all consumer categories of distribution companies, except for lifeline customers of all ex-WAPDA distribution companies (XWDISCOs).
