What is FPA in electricity bill?
FPA (Fuel Price Adjustment) is a monthly variable charge based on actual fuel costs. NEPRA determines it monthly. In March 2026 it is approximately Rs 0.48/unit, but it changes every month.
Why is my electricity bill higher than calculation?
Common reasons: (1) Estimated meter reading instead of actual — check if your bill says Estimated; (2) You crossed from Protected to Unprotected status; (3) TP (Theft Penalty) charge added; (4) Arrears from previous months; (5) MDI penalty (for commercial/industrial). Check each line item on your bill.
