  "summary": "The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) has announced use-of-system charges (UoSC) for bulk power consumers (BPCs) participating in the competitive electricity trading market. The UoSC rates range from Rs6.23 to Rs19.62 per unit for various consumer categories, including B-3 and C-3 industrial consumers, agricultural consumers, and distribution company customers. These charges, which include transmission and distribution costs, a fixed grid charge, and cross-subsidies, will be added to the agreed-upon electricity supply price between private-sector suppliers and BPCs. The introduction of uniform UoSC rates aims to facilitate the launch of the competitive wholesale electricity market, with the first auction scheduled for January 22, 2026.",
