KE Customers to See Rs0.27 Per Unit FCA Reduction for October

Under October’s Fuel Charge Adjustment (FCA), K-Electric consumers could benefit from an Rs0.27 per unit reduction in electricity bills. This follows a similar Rs0.17 per unit decrease in September, offering much-needed financial relief to Karachi residents.

The reduction, driven by declining global fuel prices and KE’s shift to efficient RLNG-based plants, awaits Nepra’s final decision.

This potential relief comes at a time of heightened economic challenges, promising some respite for KE’s customers.
