Electricity Billing Structure in Pakistan
The cost of electricity in Pakistan is determined by monthly unit consumption and the tariff plan assigned to the consumer. Electricity providers apply different unit rates for residential, commercial, and industrial connections based on approved billing structures. In addition to unit charges, electricity bills may also include taxes, fuel adjustment charges, and other government-approved fees that can impact the total payable amount.
Residential Electricity Tariff Slabs
| Units Consumed | Category | Approx Unit Price (PKR) |
|---|---|---|
| 0-100 units | Protected | 10.50 |
| 101-200 units | Protected | 13.50 |
| 201-300 units | Non-Protected | 34.00 |
| 301-400 units | Non-Protected | 39.00 |
| Above 400 units | Non-Protected | 42.00 |
Note: Actual electricity unit prices in Pakistan may vary by distribution company and are subject to government updates. Check with your local DISCO for current rates.

Replace incandescent bulbs with LED lights which use 75% less energy and last much longer.
Set AC temperature to 24C, use ceiling fans, and maintain proper insulation to reduce cooling costs.

Check Bill via CNIC – Is It Possible?

This is mainly for security reasons and data protection.

However, availability may vary depending on network and service activation.
QESCO Peak Hour Advisory
Like other DISCOs, QESCO also follows peak load management timings.
Why Peak Hours Matter?
During peak hours, electricity demand is high, so usage becomes more expensive or restricted.
Common Peak Hour Usage Tips
- Avoid heavy appliances at night peak times
- Don’t run water motors during high load
- Reduce AC usage in peak intervals
Small timing changes can noticeably reduce monthly bill pressure.
