BERA sets date for BPC tariff hearing

The meeting is part of a consultative process initiated after the BPC requested an average 46% increase in tariffs from April 2026, with the adjustment for households proposed for 68%.

The BPC’s reasons for the request include recurring financial losses due to non-cost reflective tariffs, unreliable local generation and heavy reliance on imported power, escalating input costs, including fuel, maintenance, and financing expenses, as well as prolonged non-adjustment of tariffs before the 2025–2026 financial year.
