About QESCO — Quetta Electric Supply Company
Quetta Electric Supply Company (QESCO) is the sole electricity distribution company for Balochistan — Pakistan's largest province by area, covering 44% of the country's total landmass. QESCO supplies power to over 2.5 million consumers across all 34 districts of Balochistan, with the sole exception of Lasbela district which is served by K-Electric. Established in 1998, QESCO's service territory spans some of Pakistan's most geographically challenging terrain — from the high-altitude plateau of Quetta (Pakistan's ninth-largest city and the provincial capital at 1,680 metres elevation) to the deep valleys of Zhob, the coastal plains of Makran, and the desert expanses of Chagai.
QESCO covers major cities including Quetta (all city sectors including Satellite Town, Jinnah Town, Sariab, Brewery Road, and all cantonments), Turbat (Kech district — the largest city of Makran coastal belt), Khuzdar (central Balochistan's mineral hub), Hub (Lasbela's industrial zone — note: Hub City electricity is K-Electric, not QESCO), Chaman (border city with Afghanistan), Zhob, Loralai, Sibi, Dera Bugti, Naseerabad, and all districts along the CPEC route including Gwadar and its surrounding areas.
QESCO plays a central role in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Gwadar Port, the CPEC's crown jewel, is within QESCO's service area. Industrial and infrastructure development along the CPEC Western Alignment — passing through Quetta, Kalat, Khuzdar, and down to Gwadar — has significantly increased QESCO's consumer base and industrial load. New CPEC Special Economic Zones across Balochistan are QESCO consumers.
To check your QESCO bill online, enter your 14-digit QESCO reference number in the bill checker above. This is the same PITC server system used by all WAPDA DISCOs. Your reference number is printed at the top of every QESCO electricity bill. You can also use your 10-digit Consumer ID (click the Customer ID tab). For SMS bill checking, send your reference number to 8334.
Important note: QESCO's service area includes parts of Jafarabad and Naseerabad districts that are actually supplied by SEPCO — if you live in those areas and your bill shows SEPCO, visit the SEPCO bill page. All remaining Balochistan districts are QESCO.

How to Check QESCO Bill Online — Step by Step
Follow these steps to check your QESCO electricity bill online. The entire process takes under 60 seconds.
Find your 14-digit QESCO reference number — printed in bold at the top section of your QESCO electricity bill, near your consumer name. It may also appear as a barcode below the reference number.
Open the bill checker tool at the top of this page. The Reference Number tab is selected by default.
Enter your 14-digit QESCO reference number carefully in the input field. Enter numbers only — no spaces, dashes, or any other characters.
Click the green Check Bill button. The tool connects directly to the official PITC server (bill.pitc.com.pk/qescobill) and fetches your latest bill.
Your complete QESCO bill appears on screen within 3 to 5 seconds — showing total amount due, due date, units consumed, meter readings, and all charges including FPA, FC Surcharge, and GST.

How to Read Your QESCO Bill
Every section of your QESCO electricity bill has a specific meaning. Understanding these sections helps you verify accuracy and dispute errors.
Your QESCO reference number (14 digits) is permanent — it never changes for your connection. Save it in your phone contacts so you can check your bill every month without searching for a paper copy.
Quetta's high altitude (1,680m) means cold winters. Electric heaters add 200–500 units per month in Quetta winters. Monitor your consumption carefully in January and February — heavy heating use can push you from Protected to Unprotected status.
QESCO bills in remote Balochistan districts often arrive late or not at all by post. Use this tool every month to check your bill online — your payment obligation exists regardless of whether a paper bill is delivered.
Check the Category field on your QESCO bill. D-Protected means subsidized rates (average ≤200 units/6 months). D-Unprotected means full slab rates starting at Rs 23.59/unit from the very first unit. If you believe you qualify as Protected but show Unprotected, file a complaint at your nearest QESCO subdivision office.
Gwadar and Makran coastal consumers: QESCO supplies all of Makran division. High summer humidity in coastal areas combined with AC usage can spike bills dramatically in July and August.
If your bill shows 'Estimated' instead of 'Actual', QESCO's meter reader could not access your premises. Request an actual reading by calling 081-9201445 — estimated bills can cause large catch-up charges the following month.
CPEC zone consumers and Gwadar industrial consumers: monitor your Maximum Demand (MD) indicator closely. Industrial connections that exceed sanctioned load face MDI penalties that can double your monthly bill.
QESCO Bill Charges Explained March 2026
Your QESCO electricity bill includes several charges beyond the base unit rate. Here is what each charge means and how it is calculated.
| Charge | Amount / Rate | What It Is |
|---|---|---|
| Energy Charges | Rs 13.48 – Rs 48.84/unit | Base charge per kWh unit consumed. Rate depends on your slab (Protected or Unprotected). |
| Fuel Price Adjustment (FPA) | Rs 0.48/unit (Mar 2026) | Monthly variable charge set by NEPRA based on fuel cost changes. Rises when fuel is expensive. |
| General Sales Tax (GST) | 17% of consumption charges | Federal government tax applied to your electricity charges. Protected consumers under 200 units pay reduced GST. |
| FC (Fixed Charge) Surcharge | Rs 0.43/unit | Funds capacity payments to power plants. Applied to all consumers regardless of category. |
| Electricity Duty (ED) | 1.5% of consumption charges | Provincial government duty on electricity consumption. Applies to all domestic connections. |
| NJ (Neelum Jhelum) Surcharge | Rs 0.10/unit | Funds the Neelum-Jhelum Hydro Power Project debt repayment. Applies per unit consumed. |
| TV License Fee | Rs 35/month | Government fee added to all domestic bills. Mandatory regardless of whether you own a TV. |
| Meter Rent | Rs 10–1,000+/month | Monthly rental for the electricity meter at your premises. Amount varies by meter type and connection category. |
| Late Payment Surcharge | 10% of overdue amount | Applied if you pay after the due date + 7-day grace period. Avoid this by paying on time. |
| PTV Fee | Included in TV Fee | Pakistan Television fee collected through electricity bills. Part of the Rs 35 TV License charge. |
QESCO Electricity Tariff Rates March 2026
Pakistan uses a slab-based tariff. The more units you consume, the higher the rate per unit. Staying in a lower slab saves significant money every month.
Rates approved by NEPRA. Subject to change each quarter. Last updated: March 2026.
| Units Consumed | Rate per Unit (PKR) | Consumer Category |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – 100 units | Rs 13.48 | Protected |
| 101 – 200 units | Rs 18.58 | Protected |
| 1 – 100 units | Rs 23.59 | Unprotected |
| 101 – 200 units | Rs 30.07 | Unprotected |
| 201 – 300 units | Rs 34.26 | Unprotected |
| 301 – 400 units | Rs 39.15 | Unprotected |
| 401 – 500 units | Rs 41.36 | Unprotected |
| 501 – 600 units | Rs 42.78 | Unprotected |
| 601 – 700 units | Rs 43.92 | Unprotected |
| Above 700 units | Rs 48.84 | Unprotected |
✅ Protected Consumer
Average monthly consumption of 200 units or less over the last 6 months. Pays subsidized rates. One high-consumption month does not immediately remove Protected status.
⚡ Unprotected Consumer
Average consumption exceeds 200 units per month. Pays commercial rates from the very first unit consumed. Reducing average consumption below 200 units can restore Protected status.
QESCO Peak Hours 2026
Electricity costs more during peak hours. Moving heavy appliance use outside peak hours reduces your monthly QESCO bill noticeably.
Summer Peak Hours
April — October
6:30 PM – 10:30 PM
Avoid AC, washing machine, electric iron during these hours.
Winter Peak Hours
November — March
6:00 PM – 10:00 PM
Avoid electric heaters, geysers, and irons during these hours.
Off-Peak Hours (Save Money)
How to Reduce Your QESCO Bill
These practical steps consistently reduce electricity bills for Quetta households. Implementing all of them can cut your monthly bill by 20 to 40%.
Quetta winter heating is QESCO's biggest consumer cost driver. Switch from electric room heaters (2,000W each) to gas heaters (if gas is available), bukhari wood stoves, or heavy insulation — you can save 300–600 units per month in a Quetta winter.
Balochistan's extraordinary solar potential: Chagai, Nushki, Kharan, and all central Balochistan districts receive Pakistan's highest solar irradiance. Annual solar generation in these areas exceeds any other Pakistani province. QESCO net metering is available and highly lucrative here.
Gwadar and Turbat (Makran) consumers: sea breeze cooling reduces AC load significantly if you open windows at night (temperatures drop 8–12°C after midnight on the Makran coast). Use natural cooling for as many hours as possible.
Zhob, Loralai, and northern Balochistan (elevation 1,200–2,000m): cool summers mean most consumers can maintain Protected status without AC at all. Ceiling fans and open windows suffice for most summer days.
QESCO consumers in areas with frequent load shedding: install a UPS with efficient LED load rather than running a generator for long load shedding hours. LED lights draw 80% less power, making UPS batteries last 4–6 hours instead of 1–2 hours.
Review your QESCO bill monthly using this tool. Remote Balochistan billing errors are common due to meter reading difficulties — early detection prevents large accumulations.
Apply for QESCO net metering if you install solar panels. Balochistan has over 300 sunny days per year — solar returns in Quetta are excellent compared to other Pakistani cities.
