Electricity prices in Pakistan are set to drop by 65 paisa per unit following the Central Power Purchasing Agency’s (CPPA) submission for the fuel adjustment for October 2025. The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has scheduled a hearing on the CPPA’s application for 27 November, and the reduction is expected to benefit all consumers, including those of K-Electric.
According to CPPA data, power distribution companies were supplied with 9.63 billion units of electricity in October, with the per-unit cost averaging Rs 8.71. Hydropower contributed 27.36% of the electricity supply, while nuclear power accounted for 22.13%, remaining the cheapest source at Rs 2.17 per unit.
Other sources of electricity included local coal (12.76%), imported coal (4.71%), local gas (9.16%), and imported LNG (19.72%). The fuel mix highlights Pakistan’s continued reliance on both renewable and conventional energy sources to meet national demand.
Earlier, NEPRA had approved a reduction of Rs 0.4812 per kilowatt-hour for September 2025 under the Central Power Purchasing Agency–Guaranteed (CPPA-G) petition, which was reflected in consumers’ November electricity bills. Under the tariff rationalization mechanism approved by the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) on 19 August 2025, the notified fuel charges adjustment will also apply to K-Electric consumers.
This upcoming decrease in electricity tariffs is expected to provide financial relief to households and businesses across Pakistan while encouraging efficient energy consumption.
