KARACHI: K-Electric (KE) consumer electricity rates dropped 4.12 rupees per unit, the National Electricity Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) said Friday.
According to a NEPRA statement, KE executives have been ordered to assist consumers in September’s electricity bill, so the tariff reduction will be reflected in next month’s bill for consumers in Karachi.
NEPRA said electricity prices fell as part of July’s oil price hike (FPA).
