Pakistan to review electricity tariff changes on Feb. 10, 2026, aiming to lower high-use rates but add fixed charges for low users.
The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) will hold a hearing on February 10, 2026, to review a government proposal to revise electricity tariffs and fixed charges across Pakistan, including for K-Electric.
The plan aims to lower variable rates for higher domestic users—up to Rs1.53 per unit for those using 400 units or more—while introducing fixed monthly charges for consumers using up to 300 units, potentially increasing costs for low and moderate users.
The changes, approved by the federal cabinet, seek to improve cost recovery for distribution companies without raising the overall subsidy burden, which remains capped at Rs249 billion.
A separate fuel cost adjustment has already increased electricity prices by Rs0.28 per unit for February bills, effective for most consumers except lifeline users and EV charging stations.
