The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has proposed the introduction of fixed charges for domestic electricity consumers, set to begin on July 1. This could affect millions of households across the nation.
The proposal, which has been submitted to the federal government for final approval, integrates the fixed charges into the average basic electricity tariff.
