What Is FESCO?
The Faisalabad Electric Supply Company (FESCO) distributes electricity across Faisalabad Division and surrounding areas including Sargodha, Jhang, Toba Tek Singh, Mianwali, Khushab, Bhakkar, and Chiniot. Serving over 4.2 million consumers, FESCO is one of Pakistan's most important DISCOs, powering the country's textile capital and a major industrial hub.
FESCO provides an online bill checking facility through the PITC portal where consumers can view their current electricity bills instantly. This service is available 24/7 and requires only your 14-digit reference number — the same number printed on every FESCO bill and used for bill payments.
