Pakistan electricity costs surge due to record RLNG price hike

Pakistan electricity costs surge due to record RLNG price hike

The cost of power generation using imported gas surged by 242% in July, driven by expensive spot market purchases after supplies from Qatar were suspended. Power companies have sought regulatory approval to pass an additional Rs36.5 billion in costs to consumers through higher bills. The regulator has called a public hearing to examine the request, with prices expected to rise further in August.

Another hike? Prices are already killing us. The public hearing is just a formality, they'll approve it anyway.

My electricity bill last month was insane! How are regular families supposed to cope with this? The government really needs to find a long-term solution, not just pass costs to us.

Qatar suspending supplies really shows how vulnerable our energy security is. We need to invest more in our own resources, not rely on volatile imports.

SubhanAllah. First, we struggled with fuel, now this. May Allah ease the burdens of our brothers and sisters in Pakistan and grant their leaders wisdom.
