Programs Offered by Government on LESCO Bills Through the BISP

The government of Pakistan has introduced several initiatives to help citizen manage their electricity bills. This includes three major relief programs:

  1. Bijli Sahulat Package

The Bijli Sahulat Package is a three-month electricity relief package in Pakistan specifically designed to help you with monthly social or domestic bills. Under this program, the families get a flat rate of Rs26.07 per unit for consumption beyond a 25% increase over historical averages. This package is targeted at households consuming a limited amount of electricity every month. If your electricity usage falls within this range, you qualify for a discount or subsidy on your bill.

  1. CM Free Solar Panel Scheme

The Chief Minister’s Free Solar Panel Scheme is another groundbreaking initiative where they distributed up to 100,000 Solar Systems free of cost to poor households. Instead of depending on grid electricity and facing high fluctuating rates, eligible families are given solar panels at no cost. These solar panels reduce reliance on regular electricity sources and generate free energy for their homes.

  1. Winter Incentive Package

This program helps citizens manage their electricity expenses during the colder months. Many masterminds have designed this program to encourage electricity consumption during the winter months. Approved by the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA), this initiative is currently in effect from December 2024 to February 2025. It offers to consume extra electricity above the benchmark and enjoy a discounted rate of just Rs26.07 per unit!

The government offers discounts on bills during this season as an incentive for people to use electricity responsibly and affordably.

Through this initiative, the government encourages energy conservation while providing relief to low-income families struggling to meet their energy needs.
