About LESCO

Lahore Electric Supply Company

Lahore Electric Supply Company began in February 1912 as a private venture started by industrialist Lala Harkishen Lal, generating and selling power in Lahore long before independence. It was later brought under state ownership as part of Pakistan's wider electricity sector, and eventually restructured into one of the distribution companies operating under WAPDA and PEPCO.

Today LESCO distributes electricity to roughly 4.5 million consumers spread across Lahore, Kasur, Sheikhupura, Nankana Sahib and Okara — a mix of dense urban load in Lahore itself and agricultural and small-town connections in the surrounding districts.

Worth knowing

What sets LESCO apart

  • LESCO traces back to 1912, decades before WAPDA or the modern DISCO structure existed — making it the oldest of Pakistan's distribution companies by founding date.
  • Its service territory covers five districts: Lahore, Kasur, Sheikhupura, Nankana Sahib and Okara.
  • LESCO consumers were among the first in Punjab to be moved onto the shared PITC duplicate-bill portal used by this page.

What to review

Before you pay

  • Current and previous readings should make sense against the meter actually installed at your property, not just your memory of last month's bill.
  • Units belong in comparison with last month and the same month last year, not only with the amount you expected to pay.
  • Arrears should be traced back through your own receipts before you accept them as a new balance you owe.
  • Taxes, the FPA and quarterly adjustments can move the total even when your units look completely normal.
  • Your tariff category should match how the connection is actually used — this matters most for shops, rented units and mixed-use buildings.
  • The same charge shouldn't appear twice in one bill, and a payment you already made shouldn't still be sitting in arrears next month.
Understand the bill

Where the LESCO bill amount comes from

Fuel Price Adjustment (FPA)

A variable monthly charge NEPRA approves to reflect real fuel costs. It can add to your bill or shave it down, and it moves independently of how much you actually used.

Quarterly Tariff Adjustment (QTA)

Reviewed every few months instead of monthly, this covers capacity, transmission and distribution costs spread across all consumers in the region.

General Sales Tax (GST)

A federal tax applied to your electricity charges. It rises and falls with your bill total rather than sitting at one fixed rupee amount.

Electricity Duty

A provincial tax charged on the units you consume — the more you use, the more duty you pay.

TV Fee (PTV)

A small fixed monthly charge collected for Pakistan Television. It shows up on domestic bills whether or not anyone in the house owns a TV.

Meter Rent / Fixed Charges

A flat monthly amount for the meter installed at your property, charged separately from your actual unit consumption.

FAQ

LESCO bill questions

Which districts does LESCO actually cover?

Lahore, Kasur, Sheikhupura, Nankana Sahib and Okara. If your bill is headed with a different company name, you're on a different DISCO and this reference number won't match — check the coverage directory on the homepage for the right one.

Why does my LESCO bill show a shorter number than before?

LESCO has been rolling out newer meters that carry a 10-digit consumer number rather than the older 14-digit reference number. Either format works for the lookup above.

Is LESCO the same as WAPDA?

No. WAPDA used to run electricity distribution directly, but LESCO has operated as its own company under PEPCO since the late 1990s. People still call it a WAPDA bill out of habit, but LESCO issues and manages it.

What if my LESCO bill amount looks wrong?

Compare the current and previous meter readings, check the units against last month rather than just the rupee total, and look for arrears you don't recognise. If it still looks off, take the bill and your payment receipts to your nearest LESCO subdivision office.

Is this website owned by LESCO?

No. This is an independent consumer guide, not affiliated with LESCO, PITC, WAPDA, PEPCO or NEPRA. It links to the official lookup rather than replacing it.

Can I pay the bill on this page?

No. This page helps you open, read and print the bill. Pay through your bank, mobile wallet, ATM, an authorised branch or your electricity company's own customer service center.
