Tariff Policies
Fair, Transparent & Sustainable Electricity Pricing Framework for the People of Sindh.
Institutional Foundation
Under the Sindh Electricity Act, the Sindh Electric Power Regulatory Authority (SEPRA) is mandated to determine the tariffs, rates, and charges for the generation, transmission, and distribution of electric power. Our policies are grounded in the principles of social equity, economic efficiency, and environmental responsibility.
The Tariff Policy serves as the definitive guideline for all power producers and distribution companies within the provincial grid, ensuring that the cost of service is recovered fairly across different consumer categories while incentivizing operational excellence and sustainable development in Sindh's energy landscape.
