CPPA Seeks Rs1.78/Unit Fuel Cost Hike for March Electricity Bills Amid Rising Demand
Power companies have requested an extra Rs1.78 per unit fuel cost charge in March bills after a 12% rise in electricity use in January. The request, filed by CPPA, points to higher fuel expenses despite 60% of power coming from cheaper sources. Nepra will hold a hearing on February 26 to decide on the hike.
