K-Electric Users May Soon Pay Less for Electricity
There may be good news for K-Electric users, as a cut in electricity prices is being considered. NEPRA is holding a hearing today (Monday) to review K-Electric’s request to reduce the rate by Rs. 4.69 per unit. If approved, this could bring some relief to monthly bills.
A possible cut in electricity rates could bring some ease to Karachi residents. K-Electric has asked for a Rs. 4.69 per unit reduction, which NEPRA will review in a hearing taking place today as part of the monthly fuel cost check. If approved, this move may help lower power bills for many households. Such adjustments offer timely support for K-Electric users coping with high energy costs.
Good news could be on the way for K-Electric customers. If the requested price drop is approved, people across Karachi might end up saving a total of around Rs. 7.17 billion on their power bills. This would be a big step toward easing the burden of high electricity costs. These savings would significantly benefit K-Electric users across the city.
On June 5, the authority in charge of power rates, NEPRA, approved a Rs. 2.99 drop in each unit of electricity used by K-Electric customers. This move gave some relief to people already dealing with rising utility costs. The previous reduction was also welcomed by many K-Electric users.
Karachi’s electricity users may finally see a bit of relief. As stated in a recent notice, the price drop is based on fuel charges from March and will be adjusted in June’s power bills. This small change comes at a time when many are facing high electricity costs and ongoing power outages.
K-Electric Users Are Still Having Electricity Issues
As temperatures continue to rise, Karachi has been hit hard by long and surprise power outages. The worsening situation has led not only citizens but also public officials to raise complaints and join in protests.
During a recent conversation with the media, K-Electric’s chief, Moonis Alvi, admitted that people are paying a lot for electricity. But instead of taking the blame, he said the high rates are because of how the government sets the rules.
He explained that KE follows the pricing set by national authorities and has little control over it. Many customers, however, feel the company should do more to ease the burden. The issue continues to spark debate as bills remain high and outages frequent.
