Understanding Your HESCO Bill Charges
Knowing what each charge means helps spot unusual increases.
Common Charges

|---|---|---|
| Energy Charges | Main electricity usage charge | Linked to units consumed and the applicable tariff slab |
| Fixed Charges | Base charges applied even at low usage | Not the same as per-unit energy charges |
| FPA | Fuel Price Adjustment | Monthly surcharge or credit based on NEPRA-notified fuel cost changes |
| GST | General Sales Tax | Tax component applied as per prevailing rules |
| Electricity Duty | Provincial duty or related levy | May appear as a separate line item |
| Arrears / Previous Balance | Unpaid amount carried forward | Check this if your bill looks higher than expected |
| Credit / Adjustment | Correction in your favour | May reduce the current payable amount |
What is FPA in HESCO Bill?
FPA (Fuel Price Adjustment) is a monthly NEPRA-notified surcharge or credit based on fuel cost changes for power generation.
Tariff education
HESCO Slab Billing: Why Your Bill Changes
Residential billing uses slab-based charging. Higher consumption means higher per-unit rates.
- Low-usage households fall into a lower-cost tariff category
- Higher monthly consumption moves a connection into a more expensive slab
- Crossing a slab threshold makes the total bill rise faster than expected
- Sindh summers are extremely hot — AC usage often pushes consumers into higher slabs
Practical example: A Hyderabad home using 180 units stays in lower slabs. Summer AC usage of 500+ units can triple the bill due to higher slab rates.
For Commercial Users
Commercial and industrial consumers may have different tariff categories. Check NEPRA terms for your connection type.
Peak hours
HESCO Peak Hours and Off-Peak Timing
Peak hours matter for time-of-use billing. Timings vary by season.
| Season | Peak Timing | Off-Peak Timing |
|---|---|---|

| March to May | 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM | Remaining hours |
| June to August | 7:00 PM – 11:00 PM | Remaining hours |
| September to November | 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM | Remaining hours |
How to Save on Peak-Hour Electricity
