The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has issued a major decision against K-Electric, imposing a Rs1 crore fine following a show-cause notice issued earlier this year regarding fatal incidents in 2022 and 2023.

The 19-page decision mandates K-Electric to pay Rs35 lakh to the family of a deceased citizen and to offer a job to a member of the same family.

NEPRA has also ordered K-Electric to submit a report within two months confirming implementation of the order.

This decision comes after NEPRA issued a show-cause notice to K-Electric earlier this year, demanding an explanation for the multiple fatal incidents related to their electricity supply.

The incidents, which occurred in 2022 and 2023, resulted in the deaths of several citizens.
