Short answer: A QESCO bill in November 2026 is units x the uniform slab rate, plus a fixed charge per kW of sanctioned load, Rs 0.43 per unit F.C. surcharge, the Rs 2.3673 fuel adjustment and Rs 0.5194 quarterly adjustment per unit, and 18% sales tax on the total. A protected Quetta home using 100 units on 1 kW pays about Rs 1,871, while a non-protected 2 kW home using 380 units pays about Rs 18,780.
Key takeaways
- QESCO homes pay the same government residential rates as the rest of Pakistan, Rs 10.54 to Rs 47.20 per unit before taxes.
- QESCO covers Balochistan except Lasbela and Hub, about 332,037 square kilometres, the largest area of any company.
- Quetta homes that use electric heaters in winter can cross 300 units in the cold months, not only in summer.
- At 701 units a 4 kW QESCO bill is about Rs 4,479 higher than at 700, because every unit moves to Rs 47.20.
- November 2026 bills carry Rs 2.3673 fuel adjustment and Rs 0.5194 quarterly adjustment per unit.

Which areas QESCO covers
Quetta Electric Supply Company has its head office on Zarghoon Road, Quetta Cantt. Its 2023 distribution licence from NEPRA records a service area of about 332,037 square kilometres. The licence map marks it as all of Balochistan except Lasbela and Hub districts, and the licence lists 32 districts:
- Quetta, Pishin, Killa Abdullah, Mastung, Kalat, Nushki, Chagai, Kharan, Washuk and Ziarat
- Sibi, Kachhi (Bolan), Jhal Magsi, Naseerabad, Jafarabad, Sohbatpur, Dera Bugti, Kohlu and Harnai
- Loralai, Duki, Barkhan, Musakhel, Qilla Saifullah, Zhob and Sherani
- Khuzdar, Awaran, Kech, Gwadar, Panjgur and Shaheed Sikandarabad
The same filing reports six operation circles. If you live in Hub or Lasbela, check the company name at the top of your bill, because those districts are outside the QESCO area in its licence map.
QESCO per unit rates in 2026
QESCO does not set its own home rates. It charges the uniform tariff notified through S.R.O. 279(I)/2026 on 12 February 2026, still in force in November 2026. For homes with sanctioned load below 5 kW:
| QESCO category and units | Rs per unit | Fixed Rs per kW |
|---|---|---|
| Protected 1 to 100 | 10.54 | 200 |
| Protected 101 to 200 | 13.01 | 300 |
| Non-protected 1 to 100 | 22.44 | 275 |
| Non-protected 101 to 200 | 28.91 | 300 |
| Non-protected 201 to 300 | 33.10 | 350 |
| Non-protected 301 to 400 | 36.46 | 400 |
| Non-protected 401 to 500 | 38.95 | 500 |
| Non-protected 501 to 600 | 40.22 | 675 |
| Non-protected 601 to 700 | 41.85 | 675 |
| Non-protected above 700 | 47.20 | 675 |
Protected homes get the first 100 units at 10.54 and the rest at 13.01. Non-protected homes pay one rate on every unit, the rate of the slab their total falls in, so crossing 300, 500 or 700 units raises the rate on the whole bill. The full electricity bill calculator guide explains the protected test and every bill line.
Three QESCO bill examples for November 2026
All three use the November 2026 fuel adjustment of Rs 2.3673 per unit (NEPRA’s FCA decision of 6 November 2026) and quarterly adjustment of Rs 0.5194 per unit (S.R.O. 1501). I checked every figure with a script that uses the same formula as the calculator.
1. Small home in Quetta: 100 units, protected, 1 kW
Cost of electricity 100 x 10.54 = Rs 1,054. Fixed 200 x 1 = Rs 200. F.C. surcharge Rs 43. FCA Rs 236.73. QTA Rs 51.94. GST 18% of Rs 1,585.67 = Rs 285.42. Total about Rs 1,871, or Rs 18.71 per unit.
2. Quetta house with heaters: 380 units, non-protected, 2 kW
Cost of electricity 380 x 36.46 = Rs 13,854.80. Fixed 400 x 2 = Rs 800. F.C. surcharge Rs 163.40. FCA Rs 899.57. QTA Rs 197.37. GST 18% of Rs 15,915.14 = Rs 2,864.73. Total about Rs 18,780, or Rs 49.42 per unit.
3. Summer home in Sibi: 700 units, non-protected, 4 kW
Cost of electricity 700 x 41.85 = Rs 29,295. Fixed 675 x 4 = Rs 2,700. F.C. surcharge Rs 301. FCA Rs 1,657.11. QTA Rs 363.58. GST 18% of Rs 34,316.69 = Rs 6,177. Total about Rs 40,494 for a filer, or Rs 57.85 per unit. At 701 units the rate becomes Rs 47.20 on every unit and the bill is about Rs 44,972. A non-filer pays 7.5% more on top: about Rs 43,531 at 700 units.
At 701 units a 4 kW QESCO bill costs about Rs 4,479 more than at 700 units, because every unit moves to Rs 47.20.
How to check and download your QESCO bill
- Open the government’s PITC bill portal, which the Power Division lists for viewing and printing electricity bills, and go to the QESCO bill page.
- Enter the reference number printed at the top of your paper bill.
- View or print the bill, then match units, sanctioned load and each charge against the calculator above.
QESCO’s official website, as listed by the Power Division, is qesco.com.pk. Many look-alike sites rank for “QESCO bill”, so check the address before you type your reference number.
What is different about QESCO bills
- Two climates. Cold northern districts peak in winter and the plains around Sibi peak in summer, so the same family can face very different bills across the year.
- The 700 unit line. Above 700 units the rate jumps from Rs 41.85 to Rs 47.20 on the whole bill, the steepest jump in the table.
- Same tariff, no duty. QESCO residential rates match the rest of the country and there is no electricity duty line.
If a QESCO bill looks wrong, raise it first with the subdivision office printed on your bill. For a bill that never reached you, the Power Division also lists the PITC complaint portal, ccms.pitc.com.pk. If it is still not resolved, you can complain to the regulator through NEPRA’s online complaint system.
Same tariff, local details: see the LESCO bill calculator for Lahore, the IESCO bill calculator for Islamabad and Rawalpindi, the K-Electric bill calculator for Karachi, the MEPCO bill calculator for Multan, the FESCO bill calculator for Faisalabad, the GEPCO bill calculator for Gujranwala and Sialkot, the PESCO bill calculator for Peshawar, the HESCO bill calculator for Hyderabad, the SEPCO bill calculator for Sukkur and Larkana and the TESCO bill calculator for the tribal districts. The main electricity bill calculator guide covers every company in one place.
