The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) is getting ready to test the current on a new plan designed to give a boost to Pakistan’s power consumption. The regulator will host a public hearing on November 11 to evaluate a government proposal that introduces a flat electricity rate of Rs22.98 per unit for industrial and agricultural consumers.
Under the Ministry of Energy’s plan, the tariff will apply to electricity used beyond reference levels set between December 2023 and November 2024. The scheme will cover both Time-of-Use and Non-Time-of-Use categories linked to XW-DISCOs and K-Electric, remaining in place for three years once approved.
Power use has dimmed noticeably — industrial demand has fallen by 14 percent and agricultural usage by about 47 percent in the past three years. Officials cite weak economic activity, policy shifts, and an increasing reliance on net metering, now contributing over 6,000 megawatts.
The package, described as “subsidy-free,” excludes certain surcharges and negative fuel adjustments from incremental usage. With semi-annual reviews planned, the initiative aims to spark higher electricity use, steady the national grid, and brighten the outlook for farms and factories alike.
