KAPCO signs TPPA with CPPA-G, NGCPL
Last month, on May 20th, The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) approved the tripartite agreement, governing electricity sales from KAPCO's 1,600 MW power plant in Kot Addu, Punjab. According to KAPCO's notice, NEPRA granted approval of the TPPA on May 19, 2025, subject to certain conditions being met.
The conditions include conducting an Initial Capacity Test (ICT) and Heat Rate Test (HRT) to benchmark efficiency, with an independent engineer evaluating and determining Simple Cycle Efficiency/Heat Rate numbers. Once these requirements are fulfilled, the TPPA will become effective for the operational phase of the power plant.
Meanwhile, NEPRA had granted a provisional tariff to KAPCO on a Take-or-Pay basis last month after a public hearing on April 8, 2025. Incorporated in 1996, KAPCO operates a multi-fuel fired power station with the capacity of 1,600 MW, selling electricity to the Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).

Beyond tariff cut: Millions more move to protected slabs
Nepra has approved a reduction of Rs1.15 per unit in the base tariff for all non-lifeline consumers. The cut implies a base tariff relief of 2 to 5 percent for non-protected consumers, and 8 to 10 percent for those in the protected category. Negative base tariff adjustments are uncommon, offering a rare break after an extended spell of steep increases. The reduction in base tariff is not the main story. What ultimately matters is the effective end-user tariff — where a mix of adjustments, surcharges, and taxes often carries more weight, particularly when the base tariff revision is modest, as is the case this time. Significant confusion persists around the continuation of the previously announced Rs7.4 per unit relief into FY26. The issue was raised during the tariff hearing, but the Ministry of Energy's response did little to resolve the uncertainty. The Ministry stated that the 'average applicable consumer tariff in July 2025 would be lower by around seven rupees as compared to July 2024' — a phrasing that, while seemingly affirmative, raises more questions than it answers, especially in the absence of clarity on the underlying assumptions and whether the relief refers to gross billing impact or base tariff trajectory alone. It is important to recall that much of the previous quarter's relief was temporary by design, intended to lapse by June 2025. The only component explicitly extended into FY26 was the Rs182 billion relief — equivalent to Rs1.7 per unit — financed through additional Petroleum Levy collections. In its communication with the IMF, the government had clearly stated that this limited subsidy for all non-lifeline consumers would remain in place only until June 30, 2026. Combining the Rs1.15 per unit base tariff reduction with the Rs1.7 per unit Petroleum Levy–financed subsidy brings the total relief for July 2025 to Rs2.8 per unit. However, the most significant contributor is the Fuel Charge Adjustment (FCA), which has dropped from Rs3.2 per unit in July 2024 to around 10 paisas — a major swing. Additionally, quarterly tariff adjustments (QTA) offer further relief of Rs2.5 per unit, as the current QTA is a negative Rs1.55 per unit, compared to a positive Rs0.93 per unit last July. It's worth recalling that effective electricity tariffs for all consumer slabs had peaked in July 2024. Despite the base tariff cut, effective tariffs are set to increase by Re1 per unit on a month-on-month basis — primarily due to the quarterly adjustment becoming less negative, narrowing from Rs3.45 to Rs1.55 per unit. With this periodic negative adjustment scheduled to lapse after July 2025, the year-on-year relief in effective tariffs will also diminish as FY26 progresses. The more fundamental shift is unfolding in consumption patterns. An estimated 3.5 million additional consumers are expected to move into the protected category in FY26 compared to FY25. Today, 60 percent of all domestic consumers fall under protected or lifeline slabs — up from 50 percent just three years ago. Their share in total domestic consumption has risen from 22 percent in FY22 to 32 percent now. In contrast, consumption in the unprotected category — primarily middle and lower-middle income households — has declined sharply. The 301–700 unit slab has seen a drop of 5 billion units over three years, with its share in domestic consumption falling from 26 to just 19 percent. Despite lower tariffs compared to last year, the shift appears structural. Erosion in purchasing power has pushed millions into protected categories, shielding them from steep tariffs — but at the cost of mounting pressure on those left behind to cross-subsidize. The shift also mirrors the acceleration of solar adoption. In many remote areas, the grid is becoming increasingly redundant. Solar uptake is now evident across commercial, agricultural, and industrial segments as well. Meanwhile, uncertainty around net metering policy continues. Without clarity, the burden will keep growing on mid-tier unprotected consumers still tied to the grid.

NEPRA cuts basic power tariff by Rs1.15/unit
The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) has decided to reduce power tariff by Rs1.15 per unit, offering a big relief to consumers, using 100 to 500 units per month, according to a notification sent to the government for final approval and implementation. Nepra has issued its decision to reduce the basic price of electricity for the entire country. As per the decision, the maximum tariff for domestic consumers will be Rs47.69 per unit. However, the tariff for domestic lifeline consumers, using up to 50 units per month has been maintained at Rs3.95 per unit. According to the Nepra notification, tariff for lifeline consumers, using 51 to 100 units per month, is Rs7.74. A rate of Rs10.54 per unit has been approved for protected domestic consumers using 1-100 units and Rs13.01 for protected domestic consumers, using 101-200 units. For the non-protected domestic consumers, Nepra fixed the tariff at Rs22.44 for 1-100 units per-month category; Rs28.91 for 101-200 units; Rs33.10 for 201-300 units; Rs37.99 for 301-400 units; Rs40.20 for 401-500 units; Rs41.62 for 501-600 units; Rs42.76 for 601-700 units and Rs47.69 for above 700 units. According to officials, Nepra has sent its recommendations to the federal government for the implementation of the new rates. After the approval of the Nepra recommendations, the government would announce the reduction of the power tariff, they added.

Nepra rejects govt plea to apply revised SoT to KE
ISLAMABAD: National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) has turned down the federal government's plea to apply a revised uniform Schedule of Tariff (SoT) to K-Electric (KE), based on the previously determined tariff for the January–March 2023 quarter— a move likely to frustrate the Power Division. Nepra's decision was revealed in a determination issued on Tuesday, which outlines a revised average uniform SoT of Rs 31.59/kWh for both power Distribution Companies (Discos) and K-Electric for the fiscal year 2025–26. This rate marks a reduction from the earlier Rs 32.73/kWh (excluding duties and taxes), reflecting an average decrease of Rs 1.14/kWh after factoring in a budgeted Tariff Differential Subsidy (TDS) of Rs 250 billion for FY 2025–26. In its formal request (Motion for Leave), the Power Division argued that under government policy, a uniform consumer-end tariff should be maintained across K-Electric and state-owned Discos— even post-privatisation— through a mix of direct and indirect subsidies. To achieve this, the KE tariff should be modified to align with Nepra's approved national uniform tariff structure, incorporating the proposed targeted and cross subsidies. DISCOs and KE: Nepra approves revised average uniform SoT The Power Division also referenced legal provisions— Section 7, 31(4), and 31(7) of the NEPRA Act and Rule 17 of the relevant rules— supporting its appeal for revised consumer-end tariff recommendations for K-Electric, to be effective from July 1, 2025. The motion included a request to update the SoT via an amendment to SRO No. 575(1)/ 2019. During the hearing, K-Electric's Director of Finance Ayaz Jaffer urged Nepra to use KE's most recent tariff (determined on May 27, 2025) instead of the older Jan–Mar 2023 rates to establish the uniform tariff. However, Naveed Qaiser of the Power Planning and Monitoring Company (PPMC) opposed the suggestion, pointing out that the federal government has already filed a review petition against the newer KE tariff determination. Therefore, he argued, the Jan–Mar 2023 tariff should be treated as the valid benchmark. The Authority said it understands that it determines revenue requirement/ tariff for Discos for each year. Ultimately, Nepra decided not to accommodate the Power Division's request. In its official determination, the regulator stated that despite the federal government's plea to use the Jan–Mar 2023 KE tariff as the basis for a uniform SoT, it opted to apply the rates from KE's latest approved tariff for FY 2023–24, as issued on May 27, 2025. Nepra announced a reduction in the uniform average tariff from Rs 35.50/kWh to Rs 34/kWh, indicating an overall decrease of Rs 1.50 per unit. The revised SoT for consumers will be as follows: (i) up to 50 units– lifeline (Rs 3.95/kWh;(ii) 51-100 units- lifeline Rs 7.74/kWh;(iii) 0-100 (protected) Rs 10.51/kWh;(iv) 101-200 (protected)Rs 13.01 /kWh; (v) 01-100(non-protected) Rs 22.44/kWh; (vi) 101-200(non-protected) Rs 28.91/kWh;(vii) 201-300(non-protected Rs 33.10/ kWh; and (viii) 300 & ToU (non-protected) Rs 41.78/kWh. Average uniform domestic tariff will be Rs 27.20/kWh with reduction of Rs 1.13/Kwh from 28.33/kWh. New commercial tariff has been fixed at Rs 45.43 per unit with a reduction of Rs 1.15/Kwh, general services, Rs 43.17/kWh, industrial Rs 33.48/kWh, Bulk Rs 41.76/kWh, agricultural Rs 30.75/kWh, others Rs 32.68/kWh. According to Nepra, total number of electricity consumers is 37,994,210 who are projected to consume 103,558/MkWh. The average tariff has been reduced to Rs 31.59/kWh for FY 2025-26 from Rs 32.73/kWh through re-basing. Power Division explained that capacity charges have been reduced by Rs.186 billion, despite additional impact of Rs.50 billion capacity charges of Jamshoro Coal Plant, as compared to the reference capacity charges for the FY 2024-25. This reduction is mainly on account of termination/ re-negotiations of IPP contracts and change in exchange rate assumption. The Authority also observed that the petitioner in its Motion and also during the hearing submitted that inter-disco tariff rationalisation is not aimed at raising any revenues for the federal government as it is within the determined consolidated revenue requirement of all the Discos for the FY 2025-26; rather the federal government would be providing a subsidy of Rs.249 billion to different consumer categories during the period. The Uniform Tariff so determined by the Authority includes impact of PYA of Rs.58.68 billion, to be passed on in a period of twelve months from the date of notification of the decision. It was further stated that there is no anomaly in the current industrial tariff structure as the total cost of B4— inclusive of both fixed and variable charges—is actually lower than B3, which is again lower than B2. This reflects the benefit of losses for consumers connected at high tension (HT) lines, as opposed to industrial consumers on low tension (LT) lines. It was explained that ToU (Time-of-Use) pricing plays a critical role in maintaining power system stability and economic efficiency. Peak hours are strategically designated to curb demand during periods of high system stress when marginal generation costs are at their highest. However, lowering the peak rate would necessitate an upward adjustment of the off-peak rate to meet the system's annual revenue requirement. This could disproportionately burden smaller industrial consumers and potentially reduce overall electricity sales, thereby exacerbating the revenue shortfall and contributing to further upward pressure on tariffs.
