The Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) has strongly criticized the proposed quarterly tariff adjustments by power distribution companies (Discos), as reported by Dawn on February 6, 2026. FPCCI claims that the adjustments, which amount to a net national increase of Rs10.83 billion for the second quarter of FY26, are based on flawed data. Rehan Javed, head of the FPCCI Research Team, highlighted that a benefit package of Rs1.53 billion provided to a select group of consumers in December 2025 resulted in an additional burden of Rs6.6 billion on consumers nationwide. This sentiment is echoed by Business Recorder, which notes the ongoing debates around the Prosumer Regulations 2025, a policy shift aimed at integrating renewable energy sources like solar and wind into the national grid. These regulations are at a critical juncture, with NEPRA holding a public hearing to address concerns and potential impacts on Pakistan's energy landscape.
