The Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) has opposed an additional Rs268 billion burden on consumers sought by former Wapda distribution companies (Discos) through prior-year adjustments in power tariffs. The business body contends that the claims are inflated and disputed, with hundreds of billions of rupees in prior-year adjustments being passed onto consumers.
The FPCCI has constituted a special Energy Advisory Committee (EAC) to review tariff filings and demands detailed written responses, participation in public hearings, and rejection of undifferentiated lump-sum PYA claims.
