  "summary": "Electricity bills in Pakistan are set to increase again this month due to a fuel cost adjustment approved by the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra). The adjustment, which will add Rs. 1.11 per unit to October 2026 bills, reflects the difference between the actual fuel cost of Rs. 8.2084 per unit and the reference fuel cost of Rs. 7.0998 per unit. The additional charge will apply to all consumers served by ex-Wapda distribution companies and K-Electric, with some exceptions including lifeline consumers, electric vehicle charging stations, and prepaid electricity consumers who opted for prepaid tariffs. The adjustment will also apply to electricity consumed under the incremental consumption package and will appear on October 2026 bills, calculated based on consumption in August.",
