Quetta Electric Supply Company
Quetta Electric Supply Company (QESCO) is the sole electricity distribution company serving the entire Balochistan province of Pakistan, supplying power to over 650,000 consumers across 33 districts. On this page, you can perform a complete QESCO bill check online, learn how to view your QESCO bill using your QESCO bill reference number, download a QESCO bill PDF, and get all the information you need about your electricity bill — whether you are in Quetta, Gwadar, Khuzdar, Turbat, Zhob, or anywhere else in Balochistan.
What Is QESCO?
QESCO stands for Quetta Electric Supply Company Limited. It was incorporated on May 13, 1998, as a public limited company under the Companies Act 1984, following the corporatization and commercialization of WAPDA’s Power Wing. QESCO took over the management of WAPDA’s assets, legal rights, and liabilities from the former Quetta Area Electricity Board (AEB). QESCO operates under the regulation of NEPRA (National Electric Power Regulatory Authority) and is currently under the administrative control of the Ministry of Water and Power, Government of Pakistan.
QESCO is responsible for distributing electricity to approximately 650,000+ consumers (including domestic, commercial, industrial, and agricultural) across 33 districts of Balochistan. The company covers roughly 43% of Pakistan’s total land area, making it one of the largest DISCOs by geographical coverage. QESCO’s headquarters is located on Main Zarghoon Road, Beside CCPO Office, Quetta Cantt, Balochistan.
QESCO’s service territory is unique because Balochistan has vast and difficult terrain with long transmission lines and remote rural areas. Despite these challenges, QESCO continuously works to improve its infrastructure and ensure electricity supply to areas including the strategically important Gwadar Port — a key hub of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

QESCO Peak Hours and Load Management
Understanding QESCO peak hours is critical for managing your electricity consumption and reducing your QESCO bill. QESCO follows NEPRA-approved Time of Use (TOU) tariffs where electricity rates are higher during peak hours and lower during off-peak hours:
| Season | Months | Peak Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Summer | April to October | 6:30 PM to 10:30 PM |
| Winter | November to March | 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM |
Tips to Save on Your QESCO Bill
- Avoid using heavy appliances (washing machines, irons, water pumps, ACs, microwave ovens) during peak hours.
- Switch to energy-efficient LED lights instead of conventional incandescent bulbs.
- Turn off unused appliances and unplug chargers (laptop, mobile) when not in use.
- Set your air conditioner thermostat to 26°C — each degree lower can increase consumption by 6-8%.
- Always use high-quality cables for electric wiring to prevent energy leakage.
- Consider installing a TOU/TOD meter to benefit from lower off-peak rates. Apply at your respective QESCO subdivision.
- Consider installing solar panels — Balochistan receives the most sunlight in Pakistan, making it ideal for solar energy. Net metering is available through NEPRA for QESCO consumers.
- Minimize use of electric heaters and geysers which consume very high units in winter — Balochistan winters can be harsh, so use gas heaters where possible.
QESCO Taxes and Charges Explained
Your QESCO bill includes several taxes and surcharges beyond the base electricity cost. Here is a detailed breakdown of every charge you see on your QESCO bill:
| Charge | Description |
|---|---|
| Energy Charges | Based on the number of electricity units consumed. Rates vary by consumer category (domestic, commercial, industrial, agricultural) and slab. |
| FPA (Fuel Price Adjustment) | Variable monthly charge based on fuel costs of power generation. Depends on crude oil, gas, and coal prices. Can increase or decrease your bill based on fuel price fluctuations. |
| Fixed Charges | A fixed monthly amount based on the sanctioned load (kW) of your connection. Especially applicable to commercial and industrial users. |
| TR Surcharge (Tariff Rationalization) | Difference between NEPRA and GOP tariffs. If positive, GOP pays as “Subsidy”. If negative, it appears as “IDTR Surcharge” payable by the consumer. |
| FC Surcharge (Financing Cost) | 43 paisa per unit charged for debt servicing of Power Holding Private Limited. |
| Electricity Duty (ED) | A provincial government tax at 1.5% of the variable electricity cost. |
| GST (General Sales Tax) | 17% tax applied on electricity consumption as per FBR regulations. |
| Income Tax | Applied on commercial users and domestic consumers using 1,000+ units per billing month. |
| TV Fee (PTV) | Rs. 35 monthly charge for domestic consumers and Rs. 60 for commercial/industrial (being phased out from July 2025). |
| QTR Tariff Adjustment / DMC | Quarterly tariff adjustment amount, visible every three months in your bill. |
| Late Payment Surcharge | 10% additional charge if bill is not paid by the due date. |
| Meter Rent | Fixed monthly fee for rented electricity meters. |
Note: The FPA charge can sometimes appear higher than the electricity cost itself because it depends on international fuel prices. Always check your bill each month to compare FPA variations.
