⏰ What Are Peak Hours?
Peak hours mean the time of day when most people are using electricity. In these hours, the per unit rate is higher.

-
Mostly in the evening or at night

Double Meter Policy – What’s New?
Recently, people were worried that second meters would be banned. But here’s the truth:
You can install a second electricity meter if;
-
-
Your house has a separate entrance, kitchen, or setup.
-
It is not for cheating or breaking one bill into many to get subsidy.
-
⚠️ Misuse of multiple meters is now being monitored strictly, especially in areas like Faisalabad.
Will Electricity Prices Increase in July 2025?
There were rumors that electricity prices will go up by Rs. 25 per unit from 1st July 2025. But the Power Division has clearly denied this.
Only NEPRA can approve such changes after proper hearings.
So far, no official increase has been announced.
Conclusion
Electricity prices in Pakistan are not fixed. They change according to;
-
Company region (FESCO, GEPCO, etc.)
-
Number of units used
-
Peak hour usage
-
Government subsidies
To save money, use less electricity, avoid heavy usage in peak hours, and follow legal rules if you have multiple meters.
