It's the 13-digit number at the very top of any previous KE bill, usually starting with 04. It also appears on your meter installation receipt, on the demand notice for a new connection, and inside the K-Electric Live mobile app under 'My Account'.

The account number is permanent and identifies your physical connection for life. The reference number is unique to a specific bill cycle and changes every month. Both retrieve the latest bill on KE Duplicate Bill — the account number is preferred because it never expires.

Peak hours are 6:30 PM – 10:30 PM in summer (April–October) and 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM in winter (November–March). Time-of-Use consumers pay a 40–60% higher per-unit rate during this 4-hour window, weekends and public holidays included.

Domestic A-1 rates range from Rs. 13.48 per unit on the lifeline slab (1–100 units) up to Rs. 42.72 per unit on the unprotected slab above 700 units. FPA and 17% GST are added on top. Commercial A-2 rates are higher and include fixed charges. NEPRA revises rates quarterly — always cross-check the per-unit figure on your latest bill.

K-Electric bills can be paid via mobile banking (HBL, UBL, Meezan, MCB and most others), JazzCash and EasyPaisa wallets, 1Link member banks, ATMs of 1Link banks, K-Electric Customer Care Centres, authorised utility-payment counters, and online through the KE Live app. The duplicate bill PDF downloaded here is accepted across every channel.

A Late Payment Surcharge of about 10% is added on the energy charges after the due date. Continued non-payment for two cycles triggers a written disconnection notice, and supply is cut on day 7 after that notice. Reconnection requires payment of the full overdue amount, the LPS, and a reconnection fee (Rs. 500–2,500).

K-Electric's public portal generally exposes only the latest issued bill. Our lookup automatically checks the most recent 8 billing cycles. For older archived bills, visit a KE Customer Care Centre with your CNIC, or file a written request through customer.care@ke.com.pk. Archived statements are usually issued within 7–10 working days.

Call 118 (24/7), SMS your 13-digit account number to 8119, email customer.care@ke.com.pk, or visit your nearest Integrated Business Centre (IBC) office. Save the complaint reference number for follow-ups. If unresolved within 15 working days, escalate to NEPRA at complaints.nepra.org.pk.

The five highest-impact moves are: (1) stay at or below 200 units a month for 6 consecutive months with sanctioned load under 5 kW to keep protected-consumer status, (2) shift heavy loads outside the 4-hour evening peak window if you have a ToU meter, (3) switch all bulbs to LEDs, (4) set AC thermostats at 26°C and pair with ceiling fans, (5) switch off geysers, water motors and standby electronics when not in use.

No. KE Duplicate Bill (keduplicatebill.pk) is an independent consumer information resource. We help users retrieve their official K-Electric bills and understand K-Electric billing in plain language, but we are not owned by, partnered with, or endorsed by K-Electric Limited.

Yes. We do not store, log or share your account number. It is held in memory only for the few seconds required to request your bill from K-Electric's official infrastructure, and then discarded. No authentication, no signup, no tracking cookies tied to your account.

The four common causes, in order: (1) FPA was revised upward by NEPRA, (2) you crossed into a higher slab (especially 200→201 or 700→701 units), (3) summer AC load increased actual consumption, (4) Quarterly Tariff Adjustment was applied this cycle. Compare unit counts and FPA between the two bills before assuming a billing error.

Fuel Price Adjustment (FPA) is a monthly per-unit add-on reflecting the difference between projected and actual fuel cost used to generate electricity two months earlier. When global oil, gas and LNG prices rise, FPA goes up; when they fall, FPA can become negative and reduce your bill.

Yes. New domestic, commercial and industrial connection applications are accepted through the KE Live app and the official ke.com.pk new-connection portal. You will need CNIC, property document, site map and the application fee. Site survey, demand notice and meter installation typically take 30–90 days.

K-Electric net metering allows solar rooftop owners to export surplus units to the grid and offset them against imported units at the same time-of-use rate that applies when the export happens. Application is made through KE's net-metering portal after AEDB licensing; the bi-directional meter and inverter must be NEPRA-approved.

A detection bill is an additional charge added when K-Electric inspects a meter and concludes consumption was under-recorded (tampering, slow meter or by-pass). You have the right to a hearing before the bill is added — do not pay until the detection report is shared and the hearing concluded. Detection disputes can be escalated to NEPRA.

Yes. For genuine hardship cases, IBC managers can authorise 3–6 month instalment plans on a written application supported by CNIC and proof of income. Apply at the IBC office; the request is decided within 7 working days.
