Power Division limits September fuel price adjustment to Rs2.56 per unit
The Power Division in Islamabad announced Thursday that it limited the September fuel price adjustment to Rs2.56 per unit through targeted load management.
Fuel cost increase projection
The division projected a Rs2.56 increase for November bills based on fuel costs from September. This adjustment is expected to generate approximately Rs33bn for the Power Division.
Load management impact
Targeted load shedding of two to two-and-a-half hours reduced reliance on expensive furnace oil and high-speed diesel. These measures prevented a potential hike of Rs5-6 per unit that would have occurred without intervention.
Imported gas contribution
The provision of imported re-gasified liquefied natural gas at domestic prices eased the consumer burden by 83 paisa per unit. This step further contained the anticipated increase in the fuel price adjustment.
