Notification of upto 300 Units waving Fuel price Adjustment 

On the orders of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, consumers using 300 units and less will not be charged fuel adjustment charge in their electricity bills, a notification has been issued. 

On the instructions of the Prime Minister, the payment of new bills has been started, while the last date of bill payment has also been extended.

The notification states that the citizens who have paid the fuel adjustment charge will be deducted from their next month's bills. 

Earlier, the Prime Minister announced at the beginning of this month not to collect fuel adjustment charges from millions of consumers of the country who consume up to 300 units of electricity, but the notification was not issued due to which the citizens had to submit the bills. It should be remembered that 560 billion rupees were collected from electricity consumers in the first 7 months of 2022 in the interest of fuel price adjustment.

300 UNIT NOTIFFICATION

The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) will hear the CPPA's request for an increase of Rs 7.96 per unit on June 27.

The CPPA has requested an increase in the monthly fuel price adjustment for May. In this regard, the petition states that 8.80% electricity was generated from furnace oil in May. Furnace oil generated electricity at Rs 33.67 per unit.

Two days ago, NEPRA had approved an increase of Rs 1.55 per unit in the price of electricity in the case of quarterly adjustment, whereas a day earlier, in the case of quarterly adjustment, the price of electricity had been approved at 42 paisa per unit. 

The government approved the withdrawal of Rs5 per unit electricity subsidy with effect from June that former prime minister Imran Khan had given in February. With the latest approval, electricity prices would cumulatively jump by a whopping Rs12.91 per unit or 108% against March prices benchmark. This will put an additional Rs1.45 trillion burden on the consumers every year. 

The ECC approved the implementation of the Rs7.91 per unit increase in three phases. The first phase of Rs3.50 per unit will take effect from July, the second, also of Rs3.50 per unit, from August and third of nearly Rs1 per unit from the following month, according to the decision. 

The summary will today (Tuesday) be placed before the federal cabinet to seek its ratification for Rs7.91 per unit increase,” Finance Minister Miftah Ismail said 

The ECC took these decisions on the day the IMF, for the first time, gave its reaction to Friday’s budget. In a statement, the IMF found the proposed budget short of expectations.

“Our preliminary estimate is that additional measures will be needed to strengthen the budget and bring it in line with key programme objectives”, IMF Resident Representative to Islamabad, Esther Perez told.
