  "summary": "The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) has notified an additional charge of Rs9.8 billion on electricity consumers for the August billing period due to a fuel cost adjustment (FCA) of 75 paisa per unit. This adjustment brings the net average fuel cost to around 41 paisa per unit higher than in July, when the FCA was at Rs0.34 per unit. The adjustment applies to all consumer categories that opted for prepaid tariffs, excluding lifeline consumers, electric vehicle charging stations, and prepaid electricity consumers.",
