What Is LESCO?
LESCO stands for Lahore Electric Supply Company. It is a public utility company that supplies electricity to Lahore and 13 surrounding districts, including Sheikhupura, Nankana Sahib, Kasur, and parts of Gujranwala. LESCO serves millions of domestic, commercial, and industrial consumers across one of Pakistan's most densely populated regions.
LESCO operates under the oversight of NEPRA (National Electric Power Regulatory Authority), which sets tariff rates and consumer protection rules for the entire country.
Consumer Types Under LESCO
LESCO categorizes its consumers into three main types:
- Domestic consumers — residential households using electricity for home purposes
- Commercial consumers — shops, offices, and small businesses
- Industrial consumers — factories and large manufacturing units with three-phase connections
Each consumer type has different tariff slabs. Domestic consumers generally get a protected rate for lower consumption.

FAQ
What is a LESCO reference number?
The LESCO reference number is a unique 14-digit identifier assigned to every electricity connection. It is printed on your paper bill, meter reading card, and any official LESCO correspondence. You use this number to check your bill online, pay through apps, or contact LESCO customer support.
How do I read my LESCO bill?
Your LESCO bill shows your meter readings for the current and previous month. The difference between the two is your consumed units. These units are then billed based on NEPRA-approved slab rates for your consumer category (domestic, commercial, or industrial). Additional charges include fuel price adjustment (FPA), electricity duty, and a fixed monthly charge. [See our LESCO Bill Calculator guide] for a full breakdown.
What should I do if my LESCO bill is incorrect?
If you believe your LESCO bill is wrong — for example, the units seem too high or there is an estimated reading instead of an actual one — you should:
- Visit your nearest LESCO subdivision office with your bill copy.
- Submit a written complaint or request a meter re-check (known as a "meter test").
- You can also call the LESCO helpline at 111-000-118 or file a complaint through their website.
NEPRA also has a consumer complaint portal if LESCO does not resolve the issue within the stated timeframe.
Can I check LESCO bills for previous months?
Yes. MeraBill.pk and the LESCO official portal typically show your most recent bill. For older bill history, you may need to log into the LESCO consumer portal with a registered account or visit a LESCO office to request a billing history printout.
