The adjustment will be shown separately in the consumers' bills on the basis of units billed to the consumers in April 2024.

Nepra said the adjustment will be applicable to all the consumer categories except Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS) and lifeline consumers.

CPPA-G said that the actual pool fuel cost for April 2024 was Rs8.9801/kWh, against the reference fuel cost component of Rs5.4918/kWh, Rs3.4883/kWh higher as compared to the reference fuel charges.

Accordingly, nepra "after incorporating the aforementioned adjustments, reviewed and assessed a National Average Uniform increase of Rs3.3321/kWh in the applicable tariff for XWDISCOs on account of variations in the fuel charges for the month of April 2024," reads the notification.
