**ISLAMABAD:** Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has promised a forthcoming relief package for electricity prices, signaling potential financial relief for consumers.
In a recent statement, PM Sharif indicated that the government intends to pass on the savings from fluctuating oil prices directly to electricity consumers. He pledged a substantial relief package for power tariffs, anticipating a subsequent decrease in inflation.
The specifics of this package are currently under development, with a full announcement expected in the coming weeks.
The Prime Minister reiterated his dedication to easing the financial burden on the public, assuring that the benefits derived from changes in global oil prices will be reflected in electricity bills.
The Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA) has also submitted a request for a monthly fuel price adjustment for February.
The CPPA reported that February’s electricity production was 6.49 billion units, with 6.66 billion units supplied to power companies. The cost per unit was Rs 8.22, compared to the reference cost of Rs 8.52 per unit.
The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) will review the CPPA’s request on March 26. If approved, consumers could see a reduction of up to 30 paisas per unit.
In a related development, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has announced that petroleum product prices will remain unchanged for the next two weeks.
