LESCO Tariff for 2023 | Electricity Unit Rates in Pakistan
Last Updated On By John Thomas
Not everybody knows about the LESCO Tariff and the difference between 2012 and 2023 electricity rates. What is the price of 1 unit of electricity? These are the facts and figures everybody wants to know about.
It’s no surprise that the schedule of electricity rates fluctuates and goes up and down with the passage of time. And it is happening a lot these days due to the renewal of agreements with IPPs (Individual power producers) so it put an immense effect on electricity prices.
Well, this is a separate discussion and we will also write about the recent electricity agreement changes.
Let’s move to the point that is, what is the LESCO/Wapda unit rate and what is the electricity rate in Pakistan, etc?
Are You Getting it?
Moreover, it is also a fact that the tariff amount or electricity pricing depends upon various factors. Perhaps, those factors are brought into highlighted by the electricity supply companies themselves.
LESCO peak hours are usually some specific hours in a day when electricity usage gets at its peak and due to the demand and supply gap, prices for 1 unit go a little bit increases. Normally, peak hours are considered between 5 PM to 11 PM.
Below are the Peak and Off-Peak Hours details along with months and timings.

Rates For 1 Unit of Electricity
LESCO has a different unit price for domestic and commercial users. As inflation is rising, LESCO also has revised the Electricity per unit rate and has increased the prices.
As domestic users are more curious about unit prices so we will share unit prices for domestic or residential consumers here.
For the 1-100 Units: 9.42 Rs. per unit
For the 100-200 Units: 11.74 Rs. per unit
For the Next 201-300 Units: 13.83 Rs. per unit
For 301-400 Units: 21.23 Rs. per unit
For 401-700 Units: 21.23 Rs. per unit
Above 700 Units: 24.33 Rs. per unit
‘Please note As per the Authority’s decision residential consumers will be given the benefits of only one previous slab. That means you can not take the benefit of all slabs. Only 2 slabs will be applicable to your number of units consumed’.
Here are the complete details with the unit price and technical features.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is LESCO Tariff?
LESCO Tariff is the pricing plan for their consumers that what they are charging for each unit per month. However, the total amount of tariff includes the tax amount, electricity usage, and the cost of the produced and supplied electrical energy.
2. What are Peak and Off-Peak Hours?
The principal difference between Peak and Off-Peak hours is the price per unit. Due to the demand and consumption curve, peak hours’ units get pricier. So try to reduce your electricity usage in between peak hours.
Peak hours are usually 5 PM to 11 PM but these timings fluctuate in the summer and winter seasons.
Dec to Feb – 5 to 9 PM
Mar to May – 6 to 10 PM
Jun to Aug – 7 to 11 PM
Sep to Nov – 6 to 10 PM
Rest are off-peak hours that are 20 hours.
3. What is the price of 1 unit of electricity?
Electricity price changes with each consumer type. If you are a domestic consumer, charges would be a little bit low for you. For industrial connections, prices go a little bit higher due to the heavy usage of electricity.
For 1 unit of electricity, the unit price for domestic consumers is Rs-9.42 per unit for 1st 100 units and after 1st 100 units, it will go up towards Rs-11.74 per unit according to NEPRA (Variable Charges) and so on.
LESCO Tariff Slab is a correlation between units consumed and the price for each unit. LESCO has a fixed rate for each slab and number of units so it facilitates the consumer according to their usage and needs.
5. How is the tariff hike controlled?
When the tariff is likely to go on an increasing level, there are various methods through which it can be controlled. Besides controlling the tariff some measures are used by the government and the authorities to limit the price hike.
