HAZECO electricity in the Hazara division — Abbottabad, Mansehra and Kaghan valley

HAZECO serves the Hazara division, covering Abbottabad, Mansehra, Haripur, Battagram, and surrounding hill communities.

HAZECO was separated from PESCO to give the Hazara division its own billing and operations structure, and some older documents still carry PESCO references for meters that now bill through HAZECO. The practical rule is simple: if your meter is in Abbottabad, Mansehra, Haripur, Battagram, Kohistan or Torghar, your reference number belongs to HAZECO. The Hazara climate is milder in summer than the plains, so cooling load is a smaller share of the annual bill here than it is for a LESCO or MEPCO consumer. The expensive season runs from October through February, when electric heating in Abbottabad and higher-elevation Mansehra pushes consumption up. Hotels along the Kaghan and Nathiagali routes run the opposite pattern: near-zero consumption through winter, then heavy draw during the summer visitor months. Winter storm damage in Battagram and Kohistan can delay meter reading, occasionally producing an estimated bill that self-corrects the following cycle.

HAZECO was separated from PESCO to give the Hazara division its own billing structure, and some consumers still search under PESCO for meters that now bill through HAZECO. If your meter is in Abbottabad, Mansehra, Haripur, Battagram, Kohistan or Torghar, HAZECO holds your record. Enter the reference number from any old bill — it will be the same 14-digit PITC code — and the lookup returns the current HAZECO bill regardless of what company name is printed on your older statements.

Hattar industry, Tarbela and the Kaghan tourist season

HAZECO is one of the newer distribution companies, carved out of the PESCO territory to give the Hazara division its own billing and operations structure. The region has an unusual economic mix for a hill territory. Haripur hosts the Hattar industrial estate, one of the more established manufacturing zones in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Tarbela sits within the same district. Abbottabad is a education and services town with a large student and institutional population. Mansehra and the Kaghan corridor run on tourism, with hotels and guest houses concentrating demand along a narrow seasonal window. Battagram, Kohistan and Torghar are mountainous and sparsely populated, served by long feeders into difficult terrain.

Winter dominates. Hazara summers are mild, so heating between November and February is the main cost, with a smaller summer lift from tourism.

The Hazara division does not get the punishing summer heat of the plains, so air conditioning is a much smaller part of the story here than it is for LESCO or MEPCO consumers. Winter is the expensive season. Heating load from October through February drives domestic consumption in Abbottabad and Mansehra, and higher-elevation areas run heaters for a longer stretch of the year. Tourism reverses this for commercial connections: hotels along the Kaghan and Nathiagali routes see their heaviest demand in the summer visitor months and then drop sharply once the season ends.

A young company on difficult terrain

Because HAZECO was separated from PESCO relatively recently, some consumers still search under the older company name and a few older documents carry PESCO references. Bills issued now come through the HAZECO structure, and the subdivision printed on your statement is the office that handles reading corrections and disputes. Terrain is the defining operational constraint: feeders climb steeply, weather-related faults are common in winter, and restoration in the upper districts can take longer than it would on flat ground.

Head office: Abbottabad. Areas billed: Abbottabad, Mansehra, Haripur, Battagram, Kohistan and Torghar, covering the Hazara division.

📌

What Abbottabad, Mansehra and Kaghan valley consumers find on their HAZECO bill

  • Older paperwork may reference PESCO for meters that now bill through HAZECO. Use the reference number rather than the company name when checking a bill.
  • Hotel and guest house connections along the Kaghan and Nathiagali routes are seasonal. A near-zero winter bill followed by heavy summer consumption reflects occupancy.
  • Winter storm damage in Battagram, Kohistan and Torghar can delay meter reading, which sometimes produces an estimated bill that corrects the following cycle.

Why HAZECO bills peak in winter, not summer — heating load in Abbottabad and Mansehra

Hazara division does not get the scorching summers that push LESCO and MEPCO consumers into high slab bands. Air conditioning is far less common in Abbottabad and Mansehra than in Lahore or Multan. Instead, electric room heaters, oil-filled radiators and geysers running from October through February are the main seasonal cost. A household that uses 100 units per month from April to September can hit 300 or 400 in December and January purely from heating. This is the normal seasonal pattern for Hazara, not a meter problem.

  • Electric geyser running for 2 hours daily adds roughly 90 to 120 units per month
  • Oil-filled radiators are more expensive per hour than fan heaters but heat more evenly
  • Compare your winter bill against last December, not against last June
Hattar industrial estate near Haripur where HAZECO serves major manufacturing connections

HAZECO industrial billing for Hattar industrial estate in Haripur

The Hattar industrial estate in Haripur district is the economic engine of the Hazara division, hosting manufacturing units across pharmaceuticals, engineering, plastics and food processing. These connections bill on industrial tariff through HAZECO and represent a very different billing profile from the division's otherwise domestic-heavy load. MDI charges, power factor adjustments and the industrial tariff slab structure all apply to Hattar connections. Pharmaceutical plants that run continuously see smaller seasonal variation than the domestic consumer base.

  • Hattar industrial connections bill on the commercial or industrial tariff, not domestic rates
  • Power factor penalties apply if apparent power demand significantly exceeds real power consumption
  • HAZECO customer service for Haripur and Hattar is based in Haripur subdivision office

HAZECO billing — why October to February is the expensive season in the Hazara hills

Hazara summers are mild, so cooling load is limited, and air conditioning drives far fewer bills here than it does in the Punjab networks. Electric heating from October through February is the main seasonal cost. Tourist connections in Kaghan and Nathiagali show the opposite pattern, heavy in summer and near-zero in winter.

Full explanations for each charge type: reading your bill line by line, what FPA is and why it changes every month, current tariff and slab rates, paying by JazzCash, Easypaisa or bank app, and raising a HAZECO complaint.

HAZECO Help

HAZECO bill check — questions from Hazara division consumers

Is HAZECO the same as PESCO?

No, though they were once the same network. HAZECO was established as a separate distribution company for the Hazara division. Meters in Abbottabad, Mansehra, Haripur, Battagram, Kohistan and Torghar now bill through HAZECO.

Why is my Abbottabad bill highest in winter?

Hazara summers are mild, so cooling load is limited. Electric heating between October and February is the main seasonal driver, which makes winter rather than summer the expensive part of the year here.

Where do I find my HAZECO reference number?

Your HAZECO reference number is printed near the top of every monthly electricity bill, usually on the right side labelled "Reference No" or "Ref No". The number is between 10 and 14 digits and belongs to the meter, not to the billing month, so any older bill from the same connection carries the same reference number you need today.

Can I check my HAZECO bill using my CNIC?

No. The PITC billing system that Hazara Electric Supply Company uses returns bills by reference number only. CNIC is not accepted as a lookup key. If you have lost your printed bill, your HAZECO subdivision office can confirm the reference number registered against your meter address.

Is the HAZECO duplicate bill shown here the same as the original?

Yes. Entering your reference number sends a query to the same PITC system that Hazara Electric Supply Company issues bills through. The duplicate returned shows exactly the same line items, meter reading, units consumed, FPA, taxes and due date as the paper bill, with nothing recalculated or modified. It is accepted for bank submissions, address verification and payment purposes.

What happens if I pay my HAZECO bill after the due date?

A late payment surcharge applies to HAZECO bills paid after the printed due date. The surcharge rate is set by NEPRA and appears as a separate line on the following month's bill, along with the outstanding amount carried forward as arrears. Paying through JazzCash, Easypaisa, bank app, ATM, or bank counter before midnight on the due date avoids the surcharge.
