About FESCO

The Faisalabad Electric Supply Company (FESCO) is one of Pakistan's most important electricity distribution companies, serving the country's third-largest city — Faisalabad — which is often called the "Manchester of Pakistan" due to its enormous textile and industrial base. Established in 1998, FESCO operates under PEPCO and is regulated by NEPRA.

FESCO's jurisdiction covers the districts of Faisalabad, Sargodha, Jhang, Chiniot, Khushab, and Toba Tek Singh. This region contains some of Pakistan's most productive agricultural land (the canal-irrigated central Punjab belt) as well as a massive industrial concentration, particularly in the textile, chemical, and food processing sectors.

With over 4 million consumers, FESCO has an unusually high proportion of industrial and commercial consumers compared to most other DISCOs. Faisalabad alone has thousands of factories operating round the clock, making electricity supply continuity critical for the national economy. Power outages in Faisalabad can directly affect Pakistan's export industry, as many textile exporters operate here.

FESCO has made significant investments in grid upgradation to meet the high industrial demand and reduce voltage fluctuations, which are particularly damaging to industrial machinery. The company also manages a growing number of smart meters and automated billing systems to improve accuracy and reduce line losses.

All Charges Explained — FESCO Bill

Your FESCO bill contains several separate line items. Here is what each means in plain language:

Energy Charges

The base cost calculated on your monthly units multiplied by the applicable tariff slab. For industrial consumers, this includes a separate peak and off-peak rate as part of the Time-of-Use (ToU) tariff system.

Fuel Price Adjustment (FPA)

Monthly variable adjustment based on actual generation fuel costs, the same as all other DISCOs. This is outside FESCO's control and directly mirrors international fuel markets.

Demand Charges (Industrial)

Industrial consumers pay a fixed monthly charge based on their contracted maximum demand (in kVA or kW). Even if a factory does not run at full capacity, it pays for the contracted demand capacity reserved on the grid.

Power Factor Surcharge

Industrial and large commercial consumers with poor power factors (below 0.85) are charged extra. Installing power factor correction capacitors can eliminate this charge entirely and also reduce overall energy consumption.

GST, Income Tax, Electricity Duty

Standard 17–18% GST on energy charges, income tax withheld at source, and Punjab electrical duty are all included just like other DISCOs.

Energy Saving Tips for FESCO Consumers

Industrial energy audits: Factory owners should commission a professional energy audit. Most audits pay for themselves within 3–6 months through identified savings.
Power factor correction: If your FESCO bill shows a power factor surcharge, invest in capacitor banks. This lowers your kVA demand, reduces surcharges, and can save 10–20% on industrial bills.
Variable frequency drives (VFDs): Installing VFDs on large motors (pumps, fans, compressors) in factories can reduce motor energy consumption by 30–50%.
LED industrial lighting: Replacing metal halide or fluorescent lights in factory floors with LED high-bays saves 50–70% on lighting costs with much longer lifespans.
Domestic: stagger appliance use: Don't run multiple high-wattage appliances (AC, iron, geyser) simultaneously. Spreading usage throughout the day reduces peak demand and keeps you in lower tariff slabs.

Quick Facts

FAQs — FESCO Bill

Industrial consumers on FESCO use the same online portal (fesco.com.pk) by entering their Reference Number. However, industrial bills contain additional components — demand charges, power factor surcharges, and ToU energy rates — so the bill format is more complex. Most industries also receive their bills by post on time. For large industrial consumers, FESCO may provide dedicated account managers.

If you believe your FESCO meter is running fast, you can formally request a meter test by submitting an application to your local FESCO sub-division office. FESCO engineers will test the meter and compare readings. If the meter is found faulty, FESCO will adjust your bill retroactively and replace the meter at no extra cost. A small testing fee may apply upfront but is refunded if the meter is confirmed faulty.

FESCO offers net metering for solar panel installations under NEPRA's net metering regulations. You apply through FESCO, a bi-directional meter is installed, and any excess solar power you generate is fed back into the FESCO grid. You receive credits on your next bill. Many Faisalabad factories have adopted this and significantly reduced their electricity costs. Contact FESCO's renewable energy/net metering department for the application process.
