A monthly variable charge based on the difference between actual fuel costs and reference fuel costs. Set by NEPRA each month and can be positive or negative.

FC Surcharge

Financing cost surcharge to cover circular debt in the power sector. Applied per unit consumed.

Electricity Duty & GST

TV Fee (₨35/month)
