ISLAMABAD: Minister for Power Engineer Khurram Dastgir Khan has clarified that the Fuel Charges Adjustment (FCA) for consumers having up to 300 units has not been waived but deferred, which will be collected from October to March.
Addressing a news conference in Islamabad on Wednesday, he said that the government is trying to give relief to consumers who are in need, adding that the government is making policies keeping in mind the economic condition of the country.
Khurram said that the government had decided to optimally utilise indigenous sources of energy instead of relying on expensive imported fuel for the generation of electricity.
“Shifting the entire electricity generation on indigenous sources will lessen the burden on the national exchequer and provide cheap electricity to consumers,” he added. –Agencies
