Islamabad, February 11, 2026 – The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has announced a new electricity tariff structure, introducing fixed monthly charges for domestic consumers using up to 300 units of electricity, while reducing per-unit rates for higher usage.
According to media reports, the decision, made in response to a request from the Power Division, now applies fixed charges to both protected and non-protected consumers. Previously, only non-protected consumers using more than 300 units per month were subject to fixed charges.
Under the updated framework, protected domestic consumers consuming 100 units per month will pay Rs200 in fixed charges, while those using 200 units will be charged Rs300. Non-protected users consuming up to 100 units will pay Rs275, and those using up to 200 units will pay Rs300. Consumers using 300 units per month will face Rs350 in fixed charges.
For higher consumption, fixed charges for non-protected users have been revised as follows: 301–400 units at Rs400, 401–500 units at Rs500, 600 units at Rs675, 700 units at Rs675, and over 700 units at Rs675, reflecting minor adjustments under the NEPRA directive.
In addition, industrial consumers will benefit from a reduction of Rs4.40 per unit. For domestic users, per-unit rate reductions are: Rs1.53 for 301–400 units, Rs1.25 for 401–500 units, Rs1.40 for 501–600 units, Rs0.91 for 601–700 units, and Rs0.49 for consumption above 700 units.
Officials indicate that the federal government will soon issue the final notification to implement the revised electricity tariff structure, aiming to balance affordability for low-use consumers while moderating costs for higher-usage households.
