ISLAMABAD: The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) will conduct a six-month review of the Prime Minister’s electricity package for industrial and agricultural consumers.
According to NEPRA, a hearing for the review will be held on October 5, during which the authority will assess key aspects of the package, including the balance between its costs and revenues. The marginal tariff may also be revised if required.
Under the package, additional electricity is being supplied to industrial and private agricultural consumers at a rate of Rs22.98 per unit. The facility is available to eligible industrial and agricultural consumers of power distribution companies across the country, as well as qualifying consumers of K-Electric.
The Power Division has provided NEPRA with the information required for the six-month review. The data includes hourly generation by power plant, monthly electricity consumption, subsidised consumption and hourly system marginal costs.
Officials said the package aims to encourage additional electricity consumption in the industrial and agricultural sectors and utilise surplus generation available within the power system.
According to official data, industrial and agricultural consumers used an additional 2,164 gigawatt-hours of electricity under the package between December 2025 and February 2026.
The Ministry of Energy said the package is scheduled to remain in effect from November 2025 to October 2028. However, its costs and revenue position will be reviewed every six months, with the marginal tariff subject to revision if necessary.
