For residential customers, the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has established fixed fees that will go into effect on July 1, 2024, and range from Rs. 200 to Rs. 1,000 per month.
Residential Consumers
| Units consumed (GWh) | Fixed Charge(s) |
| 301-400 units/month | Rs. 200/month |
| 401-500 units/month | Rs. 400/month |
| 501-600 units/month | Rs. 600/month |
| 601-700 units/month | Rs. 800/month |
| Above 700 units/month | Rs. 1,000/month |
| ToU meter users | Rs. 1,000/month |
Commercial Consumers
| Load less than 5kW | Rs. 1,000 per month |
| Load of 5kW and above | increased from Rs. 500 to Rs. 2,000 per month |
Industrial Consumers
| B1 category (up to 25kW, ToU metering) | Rs. 1,000 per month |
| B2 category (up to 500kW) | increased from Rs. 500 to Rs. 2,000 per month |
| B3 category (5,000kW) | increased from Rs. 460 to Rs. 2,000 per month |

At the moment, 28% of the cost of each power unit is variable and 72% of the cost is set. Just 2% of revenue comes from fixed rates; 98% comes from variable costs. The new set costs are a step toward NEPRA’s goal of changing this.
For FY25, the government intends to apply for a unified tariff through NEPRA. The power regulator has already decided to raise the base pricing for FY25 from Rs. 29.78 per unit to Rs. 5.72 per unit, which would establish the new base tariff at Rs. 35.50 per unit.
With the revised tariff structure, the power sector is anticipated to bring in approximately Rs. 3.763 trillion from customers in FY25.
