The government on Wednesday decided to charge the power consumers the cost of about three per cent additional technical losses and interest on power sector loans through an average of Rs2.35 per unit impact in power tariff.
This crucial decisions were taken at a meeting of the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the cabinet presided over by Finance Minister Ishaq Dar to honour a commitment given to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Both the moves were earlier rejected by the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) in different petitions and requests from the Ministry of Water and Power and the distribution companies (Discos).
