The Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO), a state-owned electricity distribution firm, provides services to both domestic and commercial customers within its designated areas. Customers looking to establish a new electricity connection can easily apply through LESCO’s streamlined online process.
To initiate a new connection, applicants should visit LESCO’s official site at http://www.enc.com.pk/ and complete the online application form. The form requires details such as the National Tax Number (NTC), type of connection, CNIC number, anticipated minimum load, and the address of the premises.
The standard fee for a new single-phase meter connection is approximately Rs7,240. However, prices vary, and customers are encouraged to verify the exact cost with the nearest LESCO office. Due to varying operational costs, fees in some Lahore subdivisions may range between Rs18,000 and Rs25,000 during the winter season. Fees are subject to change, especially during the summer when electricity demand surges.
