Electricity prices across Pakistan are expected to drop by 65 paisa per unit, following a request submitted by the Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA) for the monthly fuel adjustment for October 2025.
According to official details, the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) will review the CPPA’s application during a hearing scheduled for 27 November. If approved, the reduction will also extend to K-Electric consumers.
The CPPA reported that power distribution companies received 9.63 billion units of electricity in October, with the per-unit production cost calculated at Rs 8.71.
During the month, 27.36% of electricity was generated through hydel sources, while nuclear energy contributed 22.13%, remaining the cheapest option at just Rs 2.17 per unit.
Moreover, 12.76% of electricity came from local coal, 4.71% from imported coal, 9.16% from local gas, and 19.72% from imported LNG.
Earlier, NEPRA had announced its decision on the CPPA-G’s petition regarding the monthly Fuel Charges Adjustment (FCA) for September 2025.
The relief of Rs 0.4812 per kilowatt-hour (kWh was passed on to consumers in their November 2025 electricity bills.
The notified FCA will also apply to K-Electric (KE) consumers under the tariff rationalization mechanism, as approved by the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) on August 19, 2025.
