The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has finalized its review of K-Electric’s Multi-Year Tariff (MYT) determinations for the control period FY’24 to FY’30. The decision impacts KE’s generation, transmission, distribution, and supply businesses.
NEPRA’s ruling also addresses the Transmission and Distribution Investment Plan, Losses Assessment, and K-Electric’s write-off claims for MYT 2017–2023. While the regulator upheld its earlier decision on the write-offs, it revised other tariff components significantly.
As a result, the average electricity tariff for K-Electric has been reduced from PKR 39.97/KWh, announced on May 27, 2025, to PKR 32.37/KWh. The power utility has stated that such a cut is not sustainable for its operations and could have long-term consequences for stakeholders, including consumers.
According to K-Electric, the reduced tariff could affect its ability to maintain and expand its generation and distribution infrastructure. The company emphasized that NEPRA’s decision, while aiming to provide affordable electricity to consumers, may strain its financial capacity and operational efficiency.
KE is currently reviewing the details of NEPRA’s decision and plans to pursue all available legal and regulatory remedies. The company assured that it remains committed to supplying reliable electricity while protecting the interests of its consumers.
Industry experts noted that NEPRA’s tariff adjustments are part of the regulator’s ongoing efforts to balance consumer affordability with the financial sustainability of power utilities. KE warned that the lower tariff might limit future investments and impact service quality if corrective measures are not considered.
NEPRA’s decision underscores the regulator’s active role in shaping Pakistan’s electricity market. Both the authority and KE are expected to engage in further consultations to address operational and financial challenges while ensuring energy security and stable electricity supply.
