Update (Feb 16, 2022):

The sudden hike in petrol prices in Pakistan may impact the FESCO bill tariff. Ultimately, consumers will have to be cautious about electricity consumption in the upcoming summers. The overall crisis of petrol in the entire world hit almost every country regardless of what economic level they have. Due to a halt in the supply chain during 2020-2021, caused by COVID19, petrol prices are now roaring everywhere. This major hike is an all-time record-breaker in the history of Pakistan. This issue was about to occur a few months back in November 2021 when a dispute took place between the federal government of Pakistan and the petrol pumps union (Pakistan Petrol Pump Dealers Association). As a result, PPDA announced a strike that hit the entire country’s transportation for around 3 days. The matter was temporarily settled but the prices couldn’t be held stable for so long.

Before discussing the FESCO online bill we need to have a brief look at the foundation of FESCO. With its inauguration in 1998, the energy sector has further expanded to cater for an extensive area, an area that plays a vital role in Pakistan’s textile industry.  For instance, Faisalabad, Sargodha, Mianwali, Khushab, Jhang, Chiniot, Bhakkar and Toba Tek Singh. It is one of the reasons why Faisalabad is called “Manchester of Pakistan”. FESCO comes under the regulations of NEPRA (National Electric Power Regulatory Authority) and WAPDA (Water and Power Development Authority).

People often face issues in calculation, which leads to a panic situation. If you need to calculate the FESCO bill manually to eliminate any doubts about reading, you can simply follow the steps below.

  • First of all, multiply the wattage of an appliance by the hours of its usage.
    For example, the wattage of a fluorescent lamp (energy saver) x hours used (14 watts x 6 Hrs. per day).
  • Divide it by 1000 to get the kWh rate (84/1000).
  • Multiply it by the kWh rate per unit (0.084 x 14.01).
  • You will get the cost of electricity by that. (Rs. 1.176 for the usage of a fluorescent lamp per day).

Cost of electricity (Per unit rate x number of units) + Meter rent + FC (Financing Cost) surcharge + GST + FPA (Fuel Price Adjustment) + TV fee + TR (Tariff Rationalization) surcharge = Total electricity bill
