Electricity company and bills in Rawalpindi
Rawalpindi is served by IESCO (Islamabad Electric Supply Company), which follows NEPRA’s uniform national tariff. Use our IESCO bill calculator to see exactly how much a solar system would cut from your bill, including slab changes, FPA and taxes. Solar often drops a home into a lower slab, which saves more than the units alone.
Net billing in Rawalpindi
New solar connections in Rawalpindi fall under NEPRA’s 2026 net billing rules: units you export earn about Rs 11, while units you buy from IESCO cost your full tariff. That makes it smarter to size your system to your own daytime use, or add batteries, than to oversize for exports. Applications go through IESCO with an AEDB-certified installer. Check the savings with our net billing calculator.
