How to Find Your SDO / Subdivision Office for Walk-In Services
Check Your Bill Footer
Every DISCO bill prints the subdivision name, SDO helpline, and sometimes the sub-division address at the bottom. This is the most reliable way to find your local office.
Use the DISCO Helpline
Call your DISCO's central helpline with your reference number. Ask which subdivision handles your area and for the SDO office address. This works even if you do not have a recent bill.
Visit the Regional Office
For head office or circle-level visits (load extension requests over a certain threshold, commercial account issues), use the addresses in our DISCO Office Directory. Bring your CNIC, reference number, and a recent bill print.
WAPDA & DISCO Offices — Common Questions
Is WAPDA and my electricity company the same?
No. WAPDA (Water and Power Development Authority) manages major hydroelectric projects and the national transmission grid. Your billing, meter reading, and customer service are handled by your regional DISCO — MEPCO in south Punjab, LESCO in Lahore, FESCO in Faisalabad, and so on. The term 'WAPDA bill' is a common informal name for a DISCO electricity bill.
How do I find my DISCO's subdivision (SDO) office?
Your physical electricity bill prints the subdivision name and SDO helpline for your connection area at the bottom. Alternatively, call your DISCO's main helpline with your reference number and they will tell you which subdivision handles your connection.
Where is the WAPDA head office?
WAPDA's head office is at WAPDA House, Shahrah-e-Quaid-e-Azam (The Mall), Lahore. For electricity billing and consumer services, contact your regional DISCO directly — WAPDA's head office does not handle individual consumer bills for DISCO-served areas.
How do I check which DISCO serves my area?
Your electricity bill clearly shows the DISCO name at the top. If you do not have a bill, check by city: Lahore → LESCO, Faisalabad → FESCO, Multan / south Punjab → MEPCO, Islamabad / Rawalpindi → IESCO, Gujranwala → GEPCO, Peshawar / KPK → PESCO, Hyderabad → HESCO, Sukkur → SEPCO, Quetta / Balochistan → QESCO, FATA → TESCO, Hazara → HAZECO.
