LESCO has launched a smart meter project worth Rs 1.6 billion by 2025, which aims to not only replace the meter but also reduce your monthly bills. Smart meters record your electricity usage every hour with the help of real-time tracking.
Its biggest advantage is that the system of estimated billing is now being phased out. Earlier, bills were made in advance, which had a higher chance of error. But now that the usage is being tracked in real-time, your LESCO bill will be only as much as the electricity you have actually used. This upgrade is not only bringing transparency but also bringing your monthly expenses under control.
LESCO has announced a complete timeline for smart meter rollout which will be implemented in various areas from 2025 to 2026. Each zone is being upgraded phase-wise.
You can find out when the switch will happen in your area from the website of LESCO or from the local office. As soon as a smart meter is installed in your home, you can instantly check your LESCO bill online and keep track of hourly usage.
This feature will help you understand at which time more electricity is being used and how you can control it.
The issue of overbilling LESCO bill was an issue in every other home. There was a chance of error in manual meter reading and many times bills were generated with old readings or by mistake. But smart meters are solving this issue permanently.
These meters have automatic usage sync which sends every second data to LESCO servers. This ensures your bill is absolutely accurate.
No extra unit, no wrong charge. This system not only gives you a chance to understand the usage of electricity but also restores your trust.
Until the smart meter is installed in your home, you need access to your LESCO bill. There are some temporary solutions during this transition period. To avoid late payment or to set monthly budget you must check you LESCO bill to avoid late additional fee.

Earlier people used to try to understand their usage only after the bill arrived. But now with the new features of the My LESCO app, you can track live usage. This means that you can see at all times how much electricity is being used in your home.
This shift is from just checking the bill to understanding the usage. The app has tools like graphs, alerts and usage history that make you proactive. Now you don't just wait for the bill, but can manage your usage in advance.
Smart meters are not just a powerful tool for monitoring, but also for saving. When you see through the app that the electricity rate is high during peak hours, you can run your heavy appliances like AC, washing machine or iron during off-peak hours.
This is a simple hack that can reduce your LESCO bill by up to 40%. In 2025, when rates and usage data will be available in real-time, you can dramatically reduce your monthly expenses by smart planning. This is not just a benefit of technology, it is part of a smart lifestyle.
Earlier people used to wait for the bill to come every month and were often shocked when the amount was high. But smart meters have eliminated this surprise factor. Now you can check usage every day, every hour.
This means that you know in advance how much your bill is going to be. When you monitor usage proactively, you avoid unnecessary consumption. This is a new way – check usage, not bills – which gives you both control and confidence.
When smart meters are installed in your home, the first thing to do is check your LESCO bill online. Compare the difference between the previous bills and the new bills. If you have planned smart usage, you will see noticeable savings.
To check your electricity bill online in Pakistan, you can visit the website for your electricity provider and enter your 14-digit reference number. You can find your reference number on any previous bill.
