Bangladesh’s power regulator has reversed a tariff hike for low-income households, restoring earlier electricity rates within a day of the decision.
BERC has backtracked on its Wednesday decision to increase electricity tariffs for lifeline and first-tier residential consumers.
The revised decision was announced in a notice issued on Thursday.
According to the new decision, lifeline consumers using 0 to 50 units will continue to pay Tk 4.63 per unit, while first-tier residential users consuming 0 to 75 units will remain at Tk 5.26 per unit.
The revised rates will be effective from the June billing cycle.
