Adopt NPA’s transparent pricing model to build public trust – CEMSE tells PURC
The Centre for Energy, Minerals and Sustainable Development (CEMSE) has called on the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) to adopt the National Petroleum Authority's (NPA) transparent pricing framework, arguing that recent utility tariff adjustments have exposed longstanding shortcomings in transparency and accountability. In a statement issued on June 28, the energy policy think tank said PURC's decision to increase electricity tariffs by 3.49 per cent and water tariffs by 0.85 per cent for the third quarter of 2026 highlights what it described as historical weaknesses in the Commission's tariff-setting methodology. The statement follows PURC's announcement on June 22, 2026, that electricity tariffs would increase by 3.49 per cent and water tariffs by 0.85 per cent, effective July 1, 2026.
