Home Slashes Rs4.58 per unit for industrial consumers and Rs1.53 for various categories of domestic consumers The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has allowed the federal government to levy a fixed charge of up to Rs350 per month on domestic consumers – including the protected ones – using up to 300 units. The regulator also allowed a reduction of up to Rs4.58 per unit and Rs1.53 per unit respectively, for different categories of industrial and domestic consumers. Previously, only non-protected users consuming more than 300 units per month were subject to fixed charges, while protected domestic consumers were exempted from the charges. However, as per the decision, fixed charges will be extended to households consuming up to 300 units a month, including protected consumers. Similarly, for protected consumers, levying a fixed charge of Rs200 per/KW/month on the consumers using 1-100 units and Rs300/KW/month for those consuming 101-200 units was approved by the authority.
