Not everybody knows about the LESCO Tariff and the difference between 2019 and 2020 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 in 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 a highlight by the electricity supply companies itself.
First of all, let’s shed some light on Peak and Off-Peak hours.
LESCO Peak and Off-Peak Hours
LESCO peak hours are usually some specific hours in a day when electricity usage gets on 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.
To get an exact idea of your monthly LESCO bill you can Use LESCO Bill Calculator.
Below are the Peak and Off-Peak Hours details along with months and timings.

Rate For 1 Unit of Electricity
LESCO has a distinct unit price for domestic and commercial users.
As domestic users are more curious for unit price so we will share unit price for domestic or residential consumers here.
- For the first 100 Units: 5.79 per unit
- For the Next 101-200 Units: 8.11 per unit
- For 201-300 Units: 10.20 per unit
- For 301-700 Units: 17.60 per unit
- Above 700 Units: 20.70 per unit
‘Please note As per Authority’s decision residential consumer 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 units price and technical features.
