LESCO Unit Rates
The LESCO tariff is the cost per unit on your lesco bill online, and this price can vary based on your total monthly consumption. Starting from July 1, 2024, residents of Lahore and surrounding areas should be prepared for a notable rise in their LESCO electricity bills due to new tariff slabs.
The recent decision by the Power Division has led to an increase of Rs5.72 in the basic LESCO unit rates. As a result, the minimum price for household consumers now stands at Rs23.73 per unit.
The federal government has requested a tariff adjustment from the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority. Even before Nepra’s official notification, the revised rates have already taken effect.
