Question 1

Why does my electricity bill change every month even with same units?

Accepted Answer

The most common reason is Fuel Cost Adjustment (FCA), which changes monthly based on international fuel prices. Also, crossing the 200-unit threshold can double your bill.

Question 2

What is the difference between protected and non-protected consumer?

Accepted Answer

Protected consumers use ≤200 units per month and pay subsidised rates. Non-protected consumers use >200 units and pay much higher rates for all units.

Question 3

How can I check my electricity bill online?

Accepted Answer

Visit your DISCO's PITC portal (e.g., lesco.pitc.com.pk) and enter your 14-digit reference number. You can also use JazzCash or Easypaisa.

Question 4

How can I reduce my electricity bill without changing appliances?

Accepted Answer

Set AC to 26°C, unplug standby devices, replace bulbs with LED, and stay under 200 units to remain protected.
