Karachi Electric (KE) consumers are preparing for an increase in electricity bills as regulatory adjustments come into effect this month. Driven by rising global fuel prices and adjustments in government tariffs, the new rates will apply to households and businesses across Karachi, sparking concerns over the financial impact on residents amid rising living costs.
KE representatives have stated that these hikes align with efforts to stabilize Pakistanās energy infrastructure amid growing import costs.
However, consumer advocacy groups have voiced concerns, calling for clearer billing transparency and more subsidies to alleviate the burden on households, particularly during inflation.
For Karachiās residents, this hike means higher monthly expenses, prompting discussions on social media and calls for the government to explore sustainable energy alternatives.
The rate increase underscores the need for Pakistan to advance its energy sector reforms, aiming for more affordable, renewable energy options that could help stabilize electricity prices.
