Enter your HAZECO units, load and consumer type. With the current adjustments, a protected home on a 1 kW load using 150 units pays about Rs 2,763. The same home as unprotected would pay about Rs 6,412.
HAZECO is the Hazara Electric Supply Company. It serves Abbottabad, Mansehra, Haripur and the Hazara division. It bills homes on the same national tariff as every other company.
Worked example: 150 units, protected, 1 kW
Protected homes get one previous slab. The first 100 units are at Rs 10.54 and the next 50 at Rs 13.01. On a 1 kW load the fixed charge is Rs 300 for the 101 to 200 slab.
| Line | Working | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Cost of electricity | 100 × 10.54 + 50 × 13.01 | Rs 1,704.50 |
| Fixed charges | 1.0 kW × Rs 300 | Rs 300.00 |
| FC surcharge | 150 × 0.43 | Rs 64.50 |
| Quarterly adjustment | 150 × 0.5194 | Rs 77.91 |
| Fuel adjustment | 150 × 1.1086 | Rs 166.29 |
| Electricity charges | Rs 2,313.20 | |
| Electricity duty | 1.5% of cost of electricity and QTA | Rs 26.74 |
| GST | 18% of the charges above and duty, rounded | Rs 391.00 |
| Duty on fuel adjustment | 1.5% of the fuel adjustment | Rs 2.49 |
| GST on fuel adjustment | 18% of the fuel adjustment and its duty, rounded | Rs 30.00 |
| Government charges | Rs 450.23 | |
| Total | Rs 2,763.43 |
That is Rs 18.42 per unit all in. On a 2 kW load the bill would be Rs 3,117.43, because the fixed charge doubles.
Why sanctioned load matters for small bills
Many homes in the hill districts use modest amounts of electricity. For them the fixed charge is a large share of the bill.
At 150 protected units:
- 1 kW load: fixed charge Rs 300, bill Rs 2,763.43
- 2 kW load: fixed charge Rs 600, bill Rs 3,117.43
Lifeline homes, with a single-phase connection of up to 1 kW and 100 units or less, pay no fixed charge at all. The electricity bill calculator shows the lifeline, protected and unprotected figures for 100 units side by side.
Electricity duty in Hazara
The Hazara division is in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The federal government said in July 2025 that it would stop collecting electricity duty through bills, and KP asked for collection to continue.
Check your HAZECO bill. If there is no electricity duty line, untick the duty box. For a small protected bill the difference is a few dozen rupees.
Reading your HAZECO bill
You need the units consumed for the month and your sanctioned load in kW. Winter heating can push units up. If any month goes over 200, a protected home loses that status for about six months, so the calculator switches to unprotected rates above 200 units.
HAZECO's neighbours charge the same national tariff, so the PESCO bill calculator and the IESCO bill calculator give matching results for the same units.
Protected HAZECO bill by units

| 150 | Rs 1,705 | Rs 3,117 |

Unprotected figures for the same units are higher. Use the calculator above or the electricity bill calculator for any level.

How much is a 150 unit HAZECO bill?
