In Pakistan's electricity billing system, crossing 200 units (kWh) in a single month permanently revokes your Protected Consumer Status, causing your per-unit base tariff rate to jump dramatically across all slabs. Crossing 300 units triggers an un-subsidized higher slab structure. Use the Techlo.pk Slab Warning Calculator to calculate remaining units and avoid severe financial penalties.

🛡️ How to Stay in a Lower Slab

🌡️ Run AC at 26°C

Every 1°C lower than 26°C adds ~6% more energy use. At 22°C your AC uses 25% more than at 26°C.

⏰ Use Timer Functions

Set AC and geyser timers. A geyser running 2 hours instead of 4 saves ~60 units/month.

🔌 Kill Standby Power

TVs, routers, chargers on standby consume 5-10% of home electricity. Use power strips with switches.

💡 Switch to LED

10 LED bulbs (12W each) instead of 10 incandescents (60W) saves 14.4 units/day — about 430 units/month.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when I cross into the next slab? ▼
Your entire additional consumption above the slab threshold is charged at the higher rate. For some DISCOs, crossing 300 units can increase your per-unit rate by ₨5-10. This can add ₨1,500-3,000 to your bill for just a few extra units.
Can I reduce my units to stay in a lower slab? ▼
Yes! The most effective strategies are: running AC at 26°C instead of 22°C, using inverter appliances, switching off standby devices, and shifting heavy loads to off-peak hours. Even 20-30 units less can save thousands.
Do all DISCOs have the same slab boundaries? ▼
No. While NEPRA sets guidelines, different DISCOs may have slightly different slab boundaries and rates. Always check your specific provider's tariff schedule.
Is the slab calculated monthly? ▼
Yes. Your electricity meter reading is taken monthly and the units consumed in that billing period determine which slab(s) you fall into.
