The application for Final Tariff Determination is still pending, the company's filing on PSX revealed today. 

The approval was granted through NEPRA's tariff determination dated April 9, 2025, following the company's submission of an Addendum to the Tariff Petition dated February 12, 2025.

The conditions for the application of the Provisional Tariff for KAPCO include several key points.

As requested in the Addendum, KAPCO will be entitled to receive a 25% Return on Equity (ROE) on a Take or Pay basis, with the remaining ROE linked to actual dispatch exceeding 25%.

The fuel cost components have been calculated based on an LSFO Price of Rs150,817.50 per ton, including transportation charges, and a Gas/RLNG Price of Rs3,442.78 per MMBTU.

These fuel cost components will be subject to adjustments for any variations in fuel prices.

The dispatch will be based on the economic merit order, and the revised provisional tariff will supersede the previously approved provisional tariff dated August 4, 2023.

The new provisional tariff will take effect from the date of issuance of this decision.

The operations of the power plant will commence following completion of regulatory and corporate approvals.
