Pakistan's power authority makes electricity dearer

Pakistan's electricity prices saw a slight bump of PKR 0.20 per unit in December 2024 due to a quarterly adjustment. This increase, totaling PKR 1.18 billion, won't affect lifeline or prepaid users, nor those benefiting from the winter package. Separately, K-Electric defended its claims for unrecoverable dues from chronic defaulters, stating the claims are independent of customer billing rates.
