NEPRA Electricity Tariff 2027: 6 DISCOs Seek Adjustments
NEPRA has published fresh tariff adjustment requests and hearing notices for FESCO, LESCO, MEPCO, GEPCO, QESCO and TESCO, starting the regulatory process for the Calendar Year (CY) 2027 tariff adjustments.
The notices, published by the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) on September 24, 2026, concern the indexation of Multi-Year Tariff (MYT) components and other proposed adjustments in the consumer-end tariff.
Important for electricity consumers: these are requests under review, not newly approved electricity rates. Your current per-unit tariff does not automatically change because these notices have been issued.
Which Electricity Companies Are Included?
The latest NEPRA proceedings cover six distribution companies:
| DISCO | Full Name | Main Service Area |
|---|---|---|
| FESCO | Faisalabad Electric Supply Company | Faisalabad region |
| LESCO | Lahore Electric Supply Company | Lahore region |
| MEPCO | Multan Electric Power Company | South Punjab |
| GEPCO | Gujranwala Electric Power Company | Gujranwala region |
| QESCO | Quetta Electric Supply Company | Balochistan |
| TESCO | Tribal Areas Electric Supply Company | Merged tribal districts |

What Does the CY 2027 MYT Adjustment Mean?
A Multi-Year Tariff (MYT) framework allows electricity distribution companies to have certain approved tariff components reviewed or indexed over a multi-year control period.
For CY 2027, the six DISCOs have submitted adjustment requests covering MYT components and other elements of their consumer-end tariffs.
This does not mean NEPRA has approved a specific increase in electricity prices.
The process normally involves regulatory review and hearings before NEPRA reaches its determination. Any actual change affecting consumers would need to be reflected in the applicable approved or notified tariff.
Will Electricity Bills Increase in 2027?
It is too early to say from these notices alone.
The September 24 notices establish that tariff adjustment proceedings are underway, but they do not by themselves establish a final new per-unit rate for domestic consumers.
The eventual impact may depend on:
- the adjustments requested by each DISCO;
- NEPRA’s assessment and determination;
- the consumer category involved;
- applicable fixed and variable tariff components; and
- any subsequent government or regulatory notification.
Therefore, consumers should avoid treating proposed tariff adjustments as confirmed electricity price increases.
Should You Change Your Bill Calculation Now?
No.
If you use an electricity bill calculator, continue using the currently applicable NEPRA-notified tariff until a new applicable tariff is officially determined/notified.
MeraBijliBill.pk’s electricity calculators are designed around the applicable tariff rather than unapproved proposals, so a hearing notice alone should not be used to replace existing rates.
What Happens Next?
NEPRA will examine the adjustment requests through its regulatory process. Hearings give the Authority an opportunity to review the companies’ submissions and the issues connected with the proposed tariff adjustments.
The important stage for consumers will be the publication of a determination or applicable notification showing what has actually been approved.
Until then, the correct status is:
Requested/proposed → under NEPRA review → not a final new consumer tariff yet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Has NEPRA announced new electricity rates for 2027?
Not through these September 24 notices. They relate to tariff adjustment requests and hearings rather than a final new consumer tariff.
Which companies submitted CY 2027 tariff adjustment requests?
FESCO, LESCO, MEPCO, GEPCO, QESCO and TESCO are included in the NEPRA notices published on September 24, 2026.
Do consumers need to pay new rates now?
No new rate should be assumed solely from these proceedings. Consumers should follow the tariff currently applicable to their connection until an official change takes effect.
Will MeraBijliBill.pk update its calculators?
When an applicable tariff change is officially notified, the relevant calculators can be updated to reflect the new rates rather than relying on proposed figures.
