Speakers at a recent seminar in Islamabad questioned the new electricity charges system, calling for greater clarity, predictability, and non-discriminatory treatment for consumers under Pakistan's newly finalized Use of System Charges (UoSC) framework. The seminar, titled "Powering Change: UoSC Finalisation and the Dawn of CTBCM in Pakistan," was organized by the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) and the Pakistan Renewable Energy Coalition (PREC).
It examined the regulatory and commercial implications of the use of system charges determined by the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA), which underpin Pakistan's Competitive Trading Bilateral Contract Market (CTBCM). The market is intended to allow eligible consumers to purchase electricity directly from competitive suppliers rather than exclusively through their local distribution company.
