FESCO Tariff and Unit Rate Explained
The FESCO electricity tariff is the approved price structure by NEPRA that decides how much you pay for your electricity each month. It includes fixed charges and unit rates based on your connection type, sanctioned load, and monthly usage slab.
The unit rate is the cost per unit (1 kWh) of electricity. Your monthly bill is calculated by multiplying your consumed units with the applicable unit rate, plus any fixed charges or taxes.
Example: If your unit rate is Rs. 30 and you use 200 units, your variable charges will be Rs. 6,000.
Knowing the latest FESCO unit rates helps you understand your bill and manage electricity usage more efficiently.
