During the quarterly amendment session, DISCOS has a proposal looking to reduce consumers of up to 51.493 billion rupees. If it is approved and applied over the next three months, this may be translated into a reduction of about 1.50 rupees per unit of consumers, according to CPPA-G.
Nepra has noticed that the proposed quarterly relief will apply to all DISCO consumers, including K-Electric consumers, but it will exclude Lifeline customers, prepaid meter users, and electric car charging stations. The Authority has expressed concern about the absence of senior officials from Hesco Electricity Company (Hesco), Multan Electric Power (MEPCO), Qetta Electricity Company (Qesco), and decided to search for official interpretations from the relevant disk.
Separately, during the FCA hearing for March, the CPPA-G proposed a marginal reduction of three Paisas per unit-where the ninth consecutive month represents the proposed FCA discounts. This modification, if approved, will also exclude K-Electric consumers as well as lifeline, protected, pre-paid, and EV.
However, officials warned that this relief may be short -term.

Amir Sheikh indicated that although the captive power plants were integrated into the national network – which are freed from the original gas and RLNG – these resources have not been re -allocated to the independent energy producers (IPPS) or the industrial sector, which may deprive the owners of higher prices (FPA).
According to the data provided by CPPA-G, the total power generation in March 2025 was 8,409 GWH. Water energy contributed 15.42 % of the mixture, local charcoal 16.57 %, and imported coal 6.48 %. The GAS and RLNG generation reached 29.81 %, while the nuclear energy remained the leading low source, which represents 26.43 %. Renewable energy sources – wind, solar energy, and Bagasse – make modest contributions.
The total cost of the generation for this month amounted to 79.522 billion rupees, at an average cost of 9,4569 rupees per kilowatt hour. After modifications and transmission losses by 3.18 %, the net cost of electricity that was delivered to Discos 74.852 billion rupees, or 9,2251 rupees per kilowatt hour.
