Pakistan electricity tariff, slabs and bill components
A Pakistani electricity bill is not just units times rate. NEPRA sets slab tariffs that step up sharply after thresholds, CPPA-G recovers fuel cost through a monthly FPA, and both the federal and provincial governments add taxes and surcharges on top. This hub explains every component with examples so you can read your own bill line by line.

How the tariff reaches your bill
DISCOs (LESCO, MEPCO, IESCO, FESCO, PESCO, GEPCO, HESCO, SEPCO, QESCO, HAZECO, TESCO) are the billing and distribution arms of Pakistan's power sector. NEPRA approves their tariffs; PITC generates the monthly bill document. For any number you don't recognise on your bill, open your official duplicate bill and match the label to the articles above.
