Monthly revision of power tariff by Nepra
Monday, 06 Oct, 2008
ISLAMABAD: The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority has decided to revise electricity tariffs every month and has asked all distribution companies of the Pakistan Electric Power Company, Wapda and Karachi Electric Supply Company to submit their power purchase costs by the 15th of every month to ensure timely calculation of tariff.
Distribution companies are now required to submit their calculations in average sale rate due to variation in power purchase price billed by the Central Power Purchase Agency (CPPA) according to the prescribed transfer prices.
Such adjustment would be required along with the proposed adjustment in consumer-class rate. The Nepra will determine the revised tariff within five working days of receipt of information.
The variation in average sale rate will be distributed among consumer groups to minimise cross subsidisation as far as possible. The adjustment would not apply to lifeline consumers, Nepra said.
As such, the KESC and other distribution companies would be charged at a fixed rate of Rs100.15 per kilowatt per month, besides a variable charge of Rs0.1233 kilowatt hour.
NTDC shall treat KESC on a par with ex-Wapda distribution companies for the purpose of sale of power and shall charge KESC on the basis of similar mechanism as approved for Discos. For Power procurement from NTDC, KESC is directed to enter in an agreement with the NTDC for a definite period, Nepra said.
A vertically-integrated utility, KESC has a separate generation and distribution licences and has been allowed a multi-year tariff for seven years applicable until November 29, 2012. Under the existing system, NTDC was allowed to charge KESC on the basis of marginal cost plus use of system charge to meet its power shortfall. However, there is no written agreement between the NTDC and KESC for the quantity of power to be purchased by the utility.
Meanwhile, consumers of four Pepco distribution companies Islamabad, Multan, Quetta and Hyderabad will be charged at about 31 per cent higher rates in the current bills under the revised tariff.
The consumer tariff for four other distribution companies Peshawar, Lahore, Faisalabad and Gujranwala will remain unchanged for the time being because of stay orders issued by various courts.
QUOTE:
Congratulation to the democaratic government of Pakisan on such drastic step which could be a casues for further infaltion by high rising uncontrol increasing costs of energy on every aspect of life.
Industry especially export oriented companies, which already at the verge, may not survive further. It can causes further un-employment.
What a great idea to reduce poverty by finishing poors.
Off-course the energy crises is now most hot issue of the global, there is problem faces by Pakistan is uncontrolable high cost of energy which is absolutely due to the corrupt bad governance rather. It can be managable without increasing any further cost once we got high profile dedicated, sensible and dutifull patriotic professionals not just for energy production or supply, but at each level of country.
Otherwise, Most of our fellows of forum may be awared that, present top leading elites and other rulling class seeking "Big Khanchas" and asking like: ""Yar koyee kam lay aao Jis mein bara khancha hu"" ! While other non-familier parlimentrians happy just to get "AAtA Permit" even of 1000 -2000 kgs for rout it out to afghanistan or atleast to Sarhad province.
SO what should we expect now????
