Islamabad: The government has proposed imposing higher fixed electricity charges on households and businesses consuming minimal electricity. The policy aims to boost revenue collection in the power sector and cover financial gaps faced by utility companies. Analysts warn that this could discourage energy conservation, impact low-income households, and influence residential energy planning. The move may also affect urban energy infrastructure, investment in efficient technologies, and overall public confidence in government energy initiatives. How will this decision shape Pakistan’s energy consumption patterns and investment in sustainable solutions?
