ISLAMABAD: The country’s industry and the Power Division have locked horns over the financial impact of the incremental consumption package on the overall electricity tariff, with both sides presenting conflicting claims about whether the relief measure led to new demand or merely shifted industrial load from captive generation to the national grid.
The debate emerged during a public hearing held on Tuesday regarding quarterly adjustments on account of variation in Power Purchase Price (PPP) for the second quarter (October –December) of FY 2025-26.
The proposed adjustment carries an impact of 43 paisa per unit (Rs10.762 billion), replacing the 33 paisa per unit adjustment of the first quarter of the current fiscal year.
