The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) on Thursday approved the increase in tariff for hydropower electricity by 29 percent. As per details, the average tariff for hydropower is set to increase from Rs 3.85 to Rs 4.96 per unit for 2022-23. NEPRA also ordered the CPPA to conduct the capacity status of WAPDA hydropower stations. The power regulatory authority directed that the capacity status should be conducted separately and the report of all the stations should be submitted to NEPRA.

According to NEPRA officials, LESCO violated the law by allegedly issuing average bills to consumers.
