The energy regulator today decided to raise retail power tariff by 6.96 percent to "help distributor companies cut their losses".
The new tariff will be effective from March 1, Salim Mahmud, a member of the Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC), told The Daily Star.
However, the tariff will remain same for lifeline users – who consume up to 50 units – and for irrigation pumps.
The commission previously raised the power tariff in September 2012.
