Understanding PESCO Bill Charges & Taxes
Your PESCO electricity bill includes several charges beyond just the units consumed. Here is a clear breakdown of every line item:
| Charge | What It Means |
|---|---|
| GST (18%) | Government General Sales Tax applied on electricity consumption |
| FPA / FCA | Fuel Price Adjustment — varies monthly based on actual fuel cost to generate power |
| QTA | Quarterly Tariff Adjustment — NEPRA reviews and adjusts every 3 months |
| Electricity Duty | KPK provincial government tax on electricity use |
| TV Fee | Annual Pakistan Television Corporation fee included in bill |
| Fixed Charges | Monthly fixed cost based on your connection type, load sanctioned, and consumer category |
| NJ Surcharge | Neelum Jhelum hydropower surcharge added to some bills |
What is FPA in PESCO Bill?
FPA (Fuel Price Adjustment) is a monthly charge that changes based on the actual cost of fuel used to produce electricity during that billing period. When global oil or gas prices rise, NEPRA allows PESCO to pass a portion of that cost to consumers through FPA. This is why your bill amount can vary significantly month to month even if you use the same number of units.
Protected vs Unprotected Consumers
Consumers using under 200 units per month qualify as Protected Consumers and pay a lower subsidized rate. Those crossing 200 units become Unprotected Consumers — their entire bill is charged at the higher commercial slab rate. Staying under 200 units monthly can save a significant amount annually.
PESCO Peak Hours – TOU Meter Consumers
Consumers with a TOU (Time of Use) meter are charged different rates depending on when they use electricity. Standard single-phase meter users are not affected by peak-hour pricing.
Winter Peak Hours
6:00 PM – 10:00 PM
Higher per-unit rate applies for TOU consumers
Summer Peak Hours
7:00 PM – 11:00 PM
Avoid heavy appliances during this window
Current TOU Rates (2026)
Peak: Rs. 46.85/unit
Off-Peak: Rs. 40.53/unit
How to Save
Run AC, iron, washing machine before 6 PM or after 11 PM to avoid peak charges
