Fuel-power purchase adjustment surcharge (FPPA) will be increased from 4.59% to 5.063%, putting an additional burden on the pockets of electricity consumers in the state. The FPPA, which is adjusted against fuel and power purchases, will now be added at a rate of 5.063% in electricity bills issued between September 24th and October 23rd. It was previously 4.59%. This means there has been an increase of 0.473 percentage points in the new rate. This amount will be applicable to every consumer's bill, although the actual impact will depend on consumption.
