THIS refers to the convoluted electricity tariff structure in the country. As a local business-owner from Sukkur, I have first-hand experience of the challenges posed by the current system.
The complexity of the tariff structure makes it nearly impossible for consumers to understand their electricity bill, leading to significant difficulties in planning monthly expenses.
The unpredictability of electricity costs is notjust aburden on households,but also a severe negative factor in the life of traders, business-persons and industrialists.
Without a clear understanding of how tariffs are calculated, it is challenging to forecast expenses and plan activities effectively. This uncertainty hampers economic growth and stifles businesses` potential to grow, if not thrive.
The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) and other relevant bodies should take immediate action to simplify the electricity tariff structure.
A more transparent and straightforward system will empower consumers to manage their finances better, and enable businesses to plan their operations with confidence.
Simplifying the tariff structure is not just a matter of convenience; it is downright essential for the current and future economic stability and growth of the nation.
