ISLAMABAD: The Central Power Purchasing Agency–Guaranteed (CPPA-G) has sought negative adjustment of paisa 65 per unit in FCA for June 2025 to refund Rs 8.7 billion for consumers across the board.
The Nepra is scheduled to hold a public hearing on July 30, 2025 to seek further explanation from CPPA-G and give opportunity to consumers' representatives to express their views on FCA adjustment data.

Generation from HSD whereas 151 GWh were produced on RFO at a rate of 28.8873 per unit.
Electricity generation from gas-based power plants was 968 GWh (7.04 percent) at Rs12.3883 per unit. Generation from RLNG was 2,216 GWh (16.12 percent of total generation) at Rs 21.8716 per unit.

According to the CPPA-G, energy generated in June 2025 stood at 13,744 GWh at a total price of Rs 108.166 billion which was Rs 7.8698 per unit.
However, after inclusion of Rs 4.832 billion of previous negative adjustments and Rs 1.113 billion negative adjustment as sale to IPPs and transmission losses of negative 409 GWh (- Rs 2.97 per unit, the net delivered to Discos was recorded at 13,310 GWh at a rate of Rs 7.6800 per unit.
The CPPA-G argued that since the generation cost in June 2025 was recorded at 7.6800/kWh against the reference rate of Rs 8.334/kWh, hence a negative adjustment of Rs 0.6541/kWh for all categories of consumers should be approved.
