ISLAMABAD-The shoppers of Ex-WAPDA distribution firms (XWDiscos) are more likely to pay an extra Rs 29 billion in August payments as Nationwide Electrical Energy Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has hinted to permit a hike of Rs1.81/unit to XWDiscos on account of month-to-month gasoline prices adjustment (FCA).
In a public listening to, performed by NEPRA, on Central Energy Buying Company (CPPA-G) petition for tariff hike on the account of month-to-month gasoline prices adjustment (FCA) for June 2023, it was knowledgeable that the shoppers had been burdened with an extra Rs 950.70 million on account of violation of benefit order in June. The listening to was chaired by Chairman Nepra Tauseef H Farooqi, whereas it was attended by all of the authority’s members.
Equally, it was knowledgeable by NEPRA official that that much less electrical energy was generated from environment friendly Sahiwal Coal Energy Plant. Extra electrical energy was generated from imported LNG and costly furnace oil, the officers mentioned and added that10.3% extra electrical energy was generated from imported LNG in June. The rise can have influence of practically Rs29 billion (together with GST) for the Discos. The rise shall be relevant to all the patron classes besides Electrical Car Charging Stations (EVCS) and lifeline shoppers. A petition submitted by the Central Energy Buying Company (CPPA) on behalf of XWDiscos mentioned that for the month of June, the reference gasoline prices from the shoppers had been Rs7.5084/unit, whereas the precise gasoline value was Rs9.3930/unit. XWDiscos had requested NEPRA to permit it to cross the rise of Rs1.8846/unit to shoppers. Nonetheless, after the preliminary evaluation of knowledge, the regulator calculated that the hike will likely be Rs 1.81/unit.
Within the knowledge shared with the regulator, the CPPA-G knowledgeable that 13,715 GWh of electrical energy was generated through the month at the price of Rs132,080 billion (or Rs9.6300/unit) and 13,327 GWh at Rs 125,185 billion (or Rs 9.3930/unit) had been delivered to Discos with 2.57 p.c as transmission losses. Hydel era stood at 4133 GWh (30.14computer) in June which is excessive than 3,312.2 GWh (26.96computer) throughout Might, indicating a rise of 28.78 p.c.
The info confirmed that 10 GWh of high-priced electrical energy was generated from excessive velocity diesel throughout June with the era value of Rs 30.4535/unit. The info additional highlighted that 744 GWh (5.43computer) of high-priced electrical energy was generated from furnace oil throughout June. The furnace oil primarily based electrical energy era elevated by 209 p.c as in comparison with 241 GWh (1.96computer) throughout Might. The price of the RFO-based electrical energy in June additionally elevated to Rs 26.0943/unit from Rs23.2416/unit in Might. The era from coal-based energy vegetation elevated by 18 p.c to 2434 GWh throughout June from 2,061.Three GWh in Might. Coal was a relatively cheaper supply for energy era viz-a-viz RFO and RLNG, and it value Rs14.0744/unit throughout June.
The pure gas-based era declined by 7.86 p.c from 1,270.9 in Might to 1171 GWH (8.54computer) in June. The price of the fuel primarily based electrical energy in June was Rs11.7444/unit which is cheaper from Might value of Rs12.455/unit. The RLNG-based electrical energy contribution to the nationwide grid decreased by nearly 15 p.c to 2544 GWh in June from 2,988 GWh through the earlier month. The price of RLNG primarily based electrical energy was Rs 24.0740/unit. Era from nuclear primarily based energy vegetation elevated by 20.38 p.c to 1857 GWh (13.54computer) in June from 1,542.56 GWh in Might. The per unit value of nuclear energy was additionally declined from Rs1.148/unit in Might to Rs1.0721/unit throughout June. The import of electrical energy from Iran was 25 GWh was at the price of Rs23.6329/unit. From bagasse, 66 GWh of electrical energy was generated at Rs5.9822/unit, whereas wind, photo voltaic and combined sources contributed 597 GWh, 105 GWh, and 27 GWh, respectively, to the nationwide grid.
