Short answer: A HESCO 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 Hyderabad home using 199 units on 1 kW pays about Rs 3,896, but the same home at 201 units pays about Rs 9,050.

How to use this HESCO bill calculator
HESCO is already selected. Enter units consumed, sanctioned load in kW, protected status and filer status from your bill. The fuel and quarterly adjustments are prefilled with November 2026 values. Lower Sindh summers are long, so many homes run ACs from April to October; try your summer units too, not only the current month.
Which areas HESCO covers
Hyderabad Electric Supply Company has its head office at the WAPDA Offices Complex, Hussainabad, Hyderabad. Its 2023 distribution licence from NEPRA records a service area of about 77,160 square kilometres across 13 districts:
- Hyderabad, Tando Allahyar, Tando Muhammad Khan, Matiari and Jamshoro
- Badin, Sujawal and Thatta
- Shaheed Benazirabad (Nawabshah) and Sanghar
- Mirpur Khas, Umerkot and Tharparkar
In that filing HESCO reported about 1.12 million consumers, four operation circles, 17 divisions and around 71 subdivisions. Karachi is served by K-Electric, and upper Sindh districts such as Sukkur, Larkana and Dadu are with SEPCO.
HESCO per unit rates in 2026
HESCO 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:
| HESCO 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 HESCO 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 Hyderabad: 199 units, protected, 1 kW
Cost of electricity 100 x 10.54 = Rs 1,054 plus 99 x 13.01 = Rs 1,287.99, total Rs 2,341.99. Fixed 300 x 1 = Rs 300. F.C. surcharge Rs 85.57. FCA Rs 471.09. QTA Rs 103.36. GST 18% of Rs 3,302.01 = Rs 594.36. Total about Rs 3,896, or Rs 19.58 per unit. At 201 units the same home is non-protected and pays about Rs 9,050.
2. AC home in Nawabshah: 420 units, non-protected, 3 kW
Cost of electricity 420 x 38.95 = Rs 16,359. Fixed 500 x 3 = Rs 1,500. F.C. surcharge Rs 180.60. FCA Rs 994.27. QTA Rs 218.15. GST 18% of Rs 19,252.02 = Rs 3,465.36. Total about Rs 22,717, or Rs 54.09 per unit.
3. Large summer bill in Hyderabad: 750 units, 4 kW, non-filer
Cost of electricity 750 x 47.20 = Rs 35,400. Fixed 675 x 4 = Rs 2,700. F.C. surcharge Rs 322.50. FCA Rs 1,775.48. QTA Rs 389.55. GST 18% of Rs 40,587.53 = Rs 7,305.76. Bill before income tax Rs 47,893.29, so a non-filer adds 7.5% = Rs 3,592. Total about Rs 51,485, or Rs 68.65 per unit.
For a 1 kW HESCO home, 201 units cost about Rs 5,154 more than 199 protected units, and the higher rates last six months.
How to check and download your HESCO bill
- Open the HESCO PITC bill page. PITC, the government IT company, produces bills for the ex-WAPDA companies.
- 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.
HESCO’s official website, as listed by the Power Division, is hesco.gov.pk. Many look-alike sites rank for “HESCO bill”, so check the address before you type your reference number.
What is different about HESCO bills
- Hot region, big summer bills. Units in lower Sindh often stay above 300 for months, so the 300, 500 and 700 unit lines matter more than in cooler areas.
- Same tariff as Punjab. HESCO rates and fixed charges are identical to LESCO and IESCO; the difference in bills comes from units and load.
- No electricity duty. Unlike K-Electric in Karachi, HESCO bills have no 1.5% duty line.
If a HESCO 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 SEPCO bill calculator for Sukkur and Larkana, the QESCO bill calculator for Quetta and Balochistan and the TESCO bill calculator for the tribal districts.
