National Electric Power Regulatory Authority

The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Urdu: نیپرا, abbreviated as NEPRA) is responsible for regulating the electricity supply in Pakistan. It is also responsible for issuing licenses for electricity generation, transmission, and distribution; establishing and enforcing standards to ensure operational quality and safety; approving utility companies’ investment and power acquisition programs; and determining tariffs for electric power. NEPRA was created when the Parliament of Pakistan passed the Regulation of Generation, Transmission and Distribution of Electric Power Act, 1997.

NEPRA consists of a chairman appointed by the Federal Government and four members from each of the four provinces of Pakistan.

There is also a vice-chairman of the Authority, appointed from among the Members for a period of one year, by rotation.
