Pakistan's regulator blocks new electricity tariff plan, calling it unfair and poorly designed.
Pakistan’s National Electric Power Regulatory Authority has rejected the government’s request to fast-track approval of a new industrial and agricultural electricity tariff package, citing lack of consultation and unfair design.
The plan offers Rs22.98 per unit for incremental usage, aiming to boost grid stability and reduce costly capacity payments, but industry groups and regulators criticize it as overly complex, discriminatory, and ineffective without lowering tariffs to 9 cents per unit and reducing the load factor.
Concerns persist over declining industrial consumption, widespread solar adoption, and exclusion of captive and wheeling consumers, with critics warning the scheme may fail without simpler, more inclusive criteria.
