LAHORE: The Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) has withdrawn the instalment facility on current electricity bills as part of a major recovery campaign it has launched against the defaulting government and private departments.
According to sources, instalments for consumers will now be allowed only on outstanding arrears, with no flexibility offered on current ongoing monthly bills.
Under the NEPRA regulations, consumers can avail an instalment facility twice a year; however, LESCO has suspended this option to accelerate the recoveries. Officials said that power connections are being disconnected on account of non-payment and would not be restored until all arrears are cleared.
The move is aimed at tightening enforcement as LESCO struggles to meet its recovery targets.
