      <title>Govt to refund excess electricity charges, reduce rates</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330408614/govt-to-refund-excess-electricity-charges-reduce-rates</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The government has decided to refund the extra charges collected from electricity consumers, with a potential reduction in electricity prices by 30 paisa per unit.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The NEPRA authority has scheduled a hearing on this matter for tomorrow.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA) has submitted a request for the monthly fuel adjustment for February, proposing a decrease in electricity prices.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In February, a total of 649.5 million units of electricity were generated, while 666.6 million units were supplied to electricity companies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to CPPA, the cost of electricity per unit in February has been reported at 8.22 rupees, while the reference cost was set at Rs8.52 rupees.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The majority of electricity generation has come from hydropower, accounting for 27.12%, followed by nuclear fuel at 26.59%, local coal at 15.02%, and imported LNG at 14.11%.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following the NEPRA hearing tomorrow, a final announcement regarding the reduction in electricity prices is expected, which aims to provide relief to the public.&lt;/p&gt;
