📄 Understanding Your LESCO Electricity Bill

Your LESCO bill contains several charges beyond the basic tariff. Here's what each line means:

Electricity Charges (Variable)

Your consumption in kWh multiplied by the applicable slab rate. This is the largest portion of your bill.

FPA — Fuel Price Adjustment (₨0.43/unit)

A monthly variable charge based on the difference between actual fuel costs and reference fuel costs. Set by NEPRA each month and can be positive or negative.

FC Surcharge

Financing cost surcharge to cover circular debt in the power sector. Applied per unit consumed.

Electricity Duty & GST

Provincial electricity duty (1.5%) and General Sales Tax (GST at 17%) are applied on top of electricity charges. Tax exemptions may apply for consumption under 300 units.

TV Fee (₨35/month)

Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV) fee collected through the electricity bill on behalf of the government.

Fixed/Minimum Charges

A fixed monthly charge based on your sanctioned load, payable even if zero units are consumed.

⏱️ LESCO Peak vs Off-Peak Hours

Peak Hours

17:00 – 21:00

Higher demand, higher consumption impact

Off-Peak Hours

21:00 – 17:00

Lower demand, save with ToU meters

If you have a Time-of-Use (ToU) meter, electricity consumed during off-peak hours costs approximately 50% less than peak-hour consumption. Energy-saving tip: Run washing machines, water heaters, and iron during off-peak hours to significantly reduce your monthly LESCO bill.

💡 Energy Saving Tips for LESCO Consumers

✓ Use inverter AC instead of conventional — saves 40–60% electricity
✓ Set AC thermostat to 26°C — optimal comfort with minimum energy use
✓ Replace old bulbs with LED lights — uses 80% less electricity
✓ Unplug appliances when not in use to avoid standby power drain
✓ Run heavy appliances during off-peak hours (after 21:00)
✓ Consider solar panels — net metering reduces your LESCO bill to zero

  • • Excess units exported are credited to your account at NEPRA-approved rates
  • • Apply through LESCO for net metering license — process takes 30–60 days
