Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced a three-month Electricity Sahulat Package aimed at providing relief to domestic, commercial, and industrial consumers. The package, announced during a ceremony in Islamabad for Iqbal Day, offers savings on electricity usage from December 2024 to February 2025.
Under the package, domestic consumers will be charged a flat rate of 26.7 rupees per unit. This rate will allow consumers to save between 11.42 and 26 rupees per unit, depending on their specific tariff slab. The package is intended to reduce electricity costs during winter, when usage typically increases.
