NEPRA questions furnace oil use in power generation
Reserves judgement on petition seeking tariff hike of Rs1.81 per unit for Dec 2020
ISLAMABAD:
The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) has once again questioned the use of expensive furnace oil instead of re-gasified liquefied natural gas (RLNG) for electricity generation in December 2020.
The regulator has also questioned the diversion of gas from power plants to other sectors during the month.
At a public hearing of a petition of the Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA), presided over by Nepra Chairman Tauseef H Farouqi, the regulator reserved its judgement on the application seeking a power tariff hike of Rs1.81 per unit on account of fuel cost adjustment for December 2020.
