Understanding Your IESCO Bill Charges
Electric bills can be confusing because of various taxes and surcharges. Here is a simple breakdown of the main terms you will see on your statement:
| Term | What It Means |
|---|---|
| FPA | Fuel Price Adjustment (FPA) is a monthly addition or credit on your power bill that reflects the difference between the projected cost of fuel and what power plants actually paid to generate electricity. |
| TR Surcharge | Short for Tariff Rationalization, the TR Surcharge is a standard charge on electricity bills that bridges cost differences between regional power companies, ensuring power prices stay uniform across Pakistan. |
| FC Surcharge | The Financing Cost (FC) surcharge is a government-imposed fee on power bills aimed at paying off the interest and bank loans taken to manage Pakistan’s energy sector debt. |
| ED (Electricity Duty) | Electricity Duty (ED) is a provincial tax added to your IESCO bill. It is usually charged at 1.5% of your core electricity cost and goes directly to the provincial government rather than the power company. |
| Protected vs Unprotected | Residential consumers using less than 200 units consistently for 6 months get lower "Protected" baseline rates. Crossing this limit changes your status to "Unprotected", significantly raising your per-unit costs. |
