Last reviewed: May 2026 | Based on S.R.O. 279(I)/2026 dated 12 February 2026 | Regulated by NEPRA
hazecobill.pk is an independent consumer platform — not affiliated with HAZECO or the Government of Pakistan. We monitor NEPRA determinations and government SROs to maintain accurate tariff information.
This page provides the latest HAZECO electricity tariff applicable to consumers across the Hazara Division. Below you can find slab-wise unit rates for domestic, commercial, industrial, agricultural, and other consumer categories as notified by NEPRA.
Electricity tariffs are subject to change due to fuel price adjustment, quarterly tariff adjustments, and applicable taxes. The final payable amount may therefore differ from the basic unit rates listed below.
A-1 GENERAL SUPPLY TARIFF RESIDENTIAL – Domestic Consumers Tariff
Protected Domestic Consumers
Protected consumers are domestic users who consume electricity within the protected monthly unit limits defined by NEPRA.
A-1 General Supply Tariff – Residential
(For sanctioned load less than 5 kW)
| Monthly Consumption (Units) | Consumer Type | Fixed Charges (Rs/kW/Month) | Energy Charges (Rs/kWh) | GOP Variable Charges (Rs/kWh) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 50 Units (Life Line) | Protected | 0 | 6.76 | 3.95 |
| 51 – 100 Units (Life Line) | Protected | 0 | 11.50 | 7.74 |
| 1 – 100 Units | Protected | 200 | 28.55 | 10.54 |
| 101 – 200 Units | Protected | 300 | 31.43 | 13.01 |
Am I a Protected or Unprotected Consumer?
Use this quick guide to find out which tariff applies to you:
Step 1 — Sanctioned load: Is your connection sanctioned for less than 5 kW?
→ NO: You are on TOU tariff (see Time of Use section below). Stop here.
→ YES: Continue to Step 2.
Step 2 — Monthly consumption: Did you consume 200 units or fewer this month?
→ YES: You may qualify as a Protected consumer (lower rates apply).
→ NO: Your entire bill this month is calculated at Unprotected rates.
Step 3 — Consistency check: Have you exceeded 200 units in any past six month?
→ If yes in any single month in past six months, that next six months will billed at unprotected rates.
→ Your classification resets fresh every billing month.
Important: Life Line consumers (up to 50 units or 51–100 units) are a separate
sub-category and are NOT entitled to slab benefits — they pay flat Life Line rates.
Unprotected Domestic Consumers
Unprotected consumers are domestic users whose monthly consumption exceeds the protected slab limits. Their per-unit rates are higher compared to protected consumers.
A-1 General Supply Tariff – Residential
(For sanctioned load less than 5 kW)
| Monthly Consumption (Units) | Fixed Charges (Rs/kW/Month) | Energy Charges (Rs/kWh) | GOP Variable Charges (Rs/kWh) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 – 100 Units | 275 | 30.27 | 22.44 |
| 101 – 200 Units | 300 | 33.76 | 28.91 |
| 201 – 300 Units | 350 | 37.04 | 33.10 |
| 301 – 400 Units | 400 | 38.64 | 36.46 |
| 401 – 500 Units | 500 | 39.73 | 38.95 |
| 501 – 600 Units | 675 | 41.06 | 40.22 |
| 601 – 700 Units | 675 | 42.69 | 41.85 |
| Above 700 Units | 675 | 47.45 | 47.20 |
Update as per Latest SRO
As per S.R.O. 279(I)/2026 dated 12-02-2026, the Government has further aligned domestic tariff structure to reflect fixed cost recovery. Fixed charges are now an integral component of tariff design to ensure sustainability of distribution companies and grid stability.
Residential TOU Consumers (Sanctioned Load 5 kW & Above)
A-1 General Supply Tariff – Residential (Time of Use)
| Consumer Category | Fixed Charges (Rs/Month) | Peak Energy Charges (Rs/kWh) | Off-Peak Energy Charges (Rs/kWh) | GOP Variable Charges – Peak (Rs/kWh) | GOP Variable Charges – Off-Peak (Rs/kWh) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Time of Use (TOU) – 5 kW & Above | 675 | 42.79 | 35.46 | 46.85 | 34.53 |
Note: Time of Use (TOU) tariffs apply to residential consumers with sanctioned load of 5 kW and above, where electricity usage is charged at different rates during peak and off-peak hours. Pre-paid residential consumers are billed at uniform rates as notified by NEPRA.
What Are HAZECO Peak and Off-Peak Hours?
Time of Use (TOU) tariffs charge different rates depending on when you use electricity. HAZECO follows the NEPRA-defined time windows below:
| Time Window | Category | Applies To |
|---|---|---|
| 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM | PEAK | All TOU-metered consumers |
| 10:00 PM – 6:00 PM | OFF-PEAK | All TOU-metered consumers |
Who is on TOU billing?
| Consumer Type | TOU Billing Status |
|---|---|
| Residential consumers with sanctioned load of 5 kW and above | Mandatory TOU |
| Residential consumers below 5 kW | Optional / voluntary opt-in |
| Commercial consumers — A-2 category with load ≥ 5 kW | TOU applies |
| Industrial consumers — B category | TOU applies |
| Agricultural consumers with sanctioned load ≥ 5 kW | TOU applies |
Tip: If you are on a TOU meter, running your washing machine, water motor, or iron after 10:00 PM instead of during the evening peak hours can noticeably reduce your electricity bill.
Under the revised tariff structure notified vide S.R.O. 279(I)/2026, fixed charges remain applicable to TOU residential consumers regardless of monthly energy consumption.
Pre-Paid Residential Tariff
| Consumer Category | Fixed Charges (Rs/Month) | Energy Charges (Rs/kWh) | GOP Variable Charges (Rs/kWh) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-Paid Residential Tariff | 675 | 31.49 | 42.12 |
Important Tariff Conditions & Minimum Charges (A-1 Residential)
Protected vs Unprotected Consumer Classification (As per Authority’s Decision)
- Protected residential consumers are those whose electricity consumption remains within the protected limits defined by NEPRA and who meet the eligibility criteria prescribed by the Authority.
- Residential life line consumers are not entitled to any slab benefit.
- If a consumer exceeds the protected consumption limit in any billing month, the entire consumption may be billed under unprotected tariff rates, as applicable.
Minimum Monthly Customer Charges (A-1 Tariff)
Under Tariff A-1 (Residential), a minimum monthly customer charge shall apply only in slabs where fixed charges are not applicable. For slabs with fixed charges, the notified fixed charge will apply even if no electricity units are consumed.
- For consumers where monthly fixed charges are applicable, no minimum charges shall be applied, even if no energy is consumed.
Minimum Charges by Connection Type
| Connection Type | Minimum Monthly Charge |
|---|---|
| Single Phase Connection | Rs. 75 per consumer per month |
| Three Phase Connection | Rs. 150 per consumer per month |
These minimum charges are applied as per NEPRA-approved tariff terms and are subject to revision by the Authority. Consumers are advised to refer to their electricity bill for final applicable charges.
Time of Use (TOU) Applicability for Residential Consumers
Under Tariff A-1 (Residential), electricity billing is subject to Time of Use (TOU) where applicable.
- Residential consumers with a sanctioned load of 5 kW and above shall be billed under TOU tariff, with different rates for peak and off-peak hours.
- Residential consumers with sanctioned load below 5 kW are generally billed under non-TOU tariff, however, they may opt for TOU metering subject to applicable rules and availability.

Why Your Bill Differs From the Tariff Rates Above
The unit rates on this page are base tariff rates approved by NEPRA. Your actual monthly bill includes several additional components:
1. Fuel Price Adjustment (FPA) What it is: A monthly charge (positive or negative) approved by NEPRA to reflect changes in the actual fuel cost of generating electricity versus the fuel cost assumed when the base tariff was set. Who approves it: Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA-G) submits monthly FPA data; NEPRA approves the pass-through to consumers. How it appears: As a separate line item on your bill, labelled “FPA.” Can it be negative?: Yes. If fuel costs fall below projections, FPA is negative — meaning it reduces your bill that month.
2. Quarterly Tariff Adjustment (QTA) What it is: A periodic true-up approved by NEPRA every quarter to recover or refund costs not covered by the base tariff. How it appears: As “QTA” on your bill, spread across multiple months.
3. Taxes & Government Levies
- General Sales Tax (GST): 18% on the taxable portion of your bill
- Electricity Duty: varies by province
- PTV Licence Fee: Rs. 0/month (Removed from electricity bills as per the latest government notification)
These charges are outside HAZECO’s control and are mandated by NEPRA and the Government of Pakistan. Use our Bill Calculator to estimate your total bill including these adjustments.
How to Calculate Your HAZECO Electricity Bill
To estimate your electricity cost based on current tariff slabs, you can use our dedicated bill calculator. This calculator helps you understand how unit consumption, slabs, and applicable charges affect your total bill.
Real Bill Example: Unprotected Consumer, 280 Units
This example shows how HAZECO calculates a bill for a domestic consumer
(A-1, load < 5 kW) who consumed 280 units in a month — placing them
in the Unprotected 201–300 unit slab.
Base Calculation:
Units consumed: 280 kWh
Slab: Unprotected 201–300 Units
Fixed Charge: Rs. 350 (per kW/Month, assuming 1 kW sanctioned load)
Energy Charge: 280 × Rs. 37.04 = Rs. 10,371
─────────────────────────────────────────
Base Subtotal: Rs. 10,371
Additional charges (approximate — vary monthly):
Fuel Price Adjustment: ± varies (check your bill)
GST (18%): Applied to taxable components
Electricity Duty: Per provincial rates
Other surcharges: As applicable
Note: The base subtotal above is calculated from NEPRA-approved tariff rates only.
Your actual payable amount will be higher due to FPA, QTA, and taxes.

Important Notes About HAZECO Tariff
- Always rely on your electricity bill for final payable amounts.
- All tariffs are issued and regulated by NEPRA.
- HAZECO applies tariffs as notified by regulatory authorities.
- Tariff rates may change without prior notice.
Billing Demand & Maximum Demand Indicator (MDI)
For electricity connections where fixed charges are applicable on a per kW or per kVA basis, billing demand is calculated in accordance with NEPRA-approved tariff conditions.
Billing demand shall be the higher of:
- 25% of the sanctioned load, or
- Actual Maximum Demand Indicator (MDI) recorded during the billing month.
This billing demand is used to calculate monthly fixed charges, regardless of total electricity units consumed.
This is why consumers may see fixed or demand charges on their bill even when energy consumption is low.
Tariff Reference & Regulatory Source
The electricity tariff information provided on this page is based on the Interim Tariff Determination issued by the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) for FY 2025–26 and subsequent Government notifications.
These tariff rates are implemented by Hazara Electric Supply Company (HAZECO) in accordance with:
