Top Story February 11, 2021 ISLAMABAD: The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) Wednesday allowed the power distribution companies, except K-Electric, to charge Rs1.53/unit extra from consumers on account of monthly Fuel Charges Adjustment (FCA) for December 2020. The power distribution companies (Discos) would collect the amount from consumers in their February 2021 bills. The hike was allowed as the consumers were charged less in December against the cost of power generation. After this increase, Discos will collect an additional Rs11.6 billion from consumers. This increase will be not applicable to K-Electric for being a privatised company. In January’s electricity bills, the government had allowed power distribution companies to charge Rs1.06/unit extra from consumers.
