Power Division clarifies industrial electricity tariff remains unchanged despite media reports
The Power Division in Islamabad clarified on Saturday that the industrial electricity tariff has not increased since March 2024.
Spokesperson rejects misleading headlines
A spokesperson stated that a recent media report suggesting a hike was factually incorrect. The figure of Rs 25.30 per unit refers to the revised marginal rate for specific consumers, not the standard industrial tariff.
Actual rates show reduction
The official industrial electricity tariff has dropped by approximately Rs 18.94 per unit compared to March 2024 levels. This decrease includes all applicable taxes and reflects the current pricing structure for factories.
Costs rise due to war
Marginal generation costs have increased because of the ongoing conflict situation in the region. The adjustment ensures that relief costs do not affect non-beneficiary electricity consumers across the grid.
