Who serves Hub

All electricity supply, metering and billing in Hub (Lasbela, Balochistan) is operated by K-Electric Limited under the IBC Hub integrated business centre. Walk-in disputes, sanctioned-load applications and title transfers are handled at Main RCD Highway, Hub Chowki, Lasbela.

Bulk supply for the area is fed from the Hub Power Station (1292MW IPP, KE off-take) grid station.

Load profile: Industrial-dominated by HITE units (cement, edible oil, cold storage). Residential load is small relative to industrial. Supply reliability is strong because Hub Power Station IPP feeds KE directly through dedicated 220kV lines.

Hub (Lasbela, Balochistan) — frequently asked

Hub is in Balochistan — why is K-Electric my distributor and not QESCO?+

K-Electric's NEPRA distribution licence (granted 2002, renewed 2023) covers Karachi plus a contiguous strip including Hub, Dhabeji and Gharo. QESCO's territory begins north and west of Hub town.

I run a HITE factory — is my tariff the same as Karachi industrial?+

Yes. KE applies the same NEPRA-notified B-1 / B-2 / B-3 tariff to HITE units as to Korangi or SITE. There is no regional surcharge or discount.

Can I pay my Hub bill from a Karachi bank or 1LINK app?+

Yes — 1LINK, JazzCash, EasyPaisa, KE Live app and every commercial bank's internet banking accept Hub-area KE account numbers identically to Karachi accounts. Payment posts within 60 minutes.

Power outage in Hub Chowki — same 118 helpline?+

Yes, 118 routes by your account number to IBC Hub's dispatch desk. Mention "Hub" at the start so the operator can fast-route the ticket.

Net metering available in Hub?+

Yes — Lasbela rooftop installations are eligible under the same NEPRA SRO that applies to Karachi. IBC Hub processes the application; meter swap typically takes 75–110 days due to lower KE engineer rotation in the district.

Editorial note: feeder names and IBC boundaries change periodically. Confirm with helpline 118 for current dispatch.
