DISCOs seek Rs1.7 raise in power tariff Updated 4 minutes ago

This was followed by imported coal-power generation of 2,330 GWh costing Rs17.088/unit.Local coal-power generation increased by 12.76% to 1,626 GWh from 1,442 GWh in August last year.

Interestingly, local coal generation cost decreased by 54.3% to Rs5.495/unit from Rs12.0146/unit last year.Generation from nuclear sources stood at 1,528 GWh, which is 28.76% less than August 2025's generation of 2,145 GWh.

During the month, the generation cost from nuclear sources climbed to Rs3.1468/unit from Rs2.195/unit in the same month last year depicting a 43.3% increase.RLNG-based generation in August 2026 stood at 1,311 GWh.

It declined by 39.86% from 2,180 GWh in August 2025.

The RLNG per unit generation cost was Rs45.928/unit, while last year in the same month its cost was Rs21.73/unit.Interestingly, during the month under review, 80 GWh of power was generated from expensive high-speed diesel at Rs54/unit and another 321 GWh was generated from RFO at Rs45.25/unit.The petition outlines that in August, the consumers were charged a reference fuel cost of Rs7.1 per unit, while the actual fuel cost incurred was….

The CPPA argues that the additional cost burden of Rs1.7 per unit should be transferred to consumers.In Pakistan, the FCA is a regulatory mechanism administered by Nepra to pass month-to-month variations in fuel expenses directly to electricity consumers.

At the start of each fiscal year, Nepra establishes a baseline reference fuel cost per unit (kWh) based on projected generation costs.

Power in Pakistan is generated through a diverse mix of energy sources, including hydel, local and imported coal, RLNG, nuclear, furnace oil, solar, and wind.

Because the actual cost of these fuels changes continually, the CPPA and DISCOs submit their actual monthly fuel spending to NEPRA for formal audit and public review.
