In a recent video, Haider Mirza, an electrical engineer and co-founder, discussed key issues related to K-Electric bills. The conversation sheds light on the components of the bill and offers practical advice for consumers.
Decoding Your Bill: Taxes and K-Electric
A common misconception is that K-Electric sets all the charges on your bill. Haider Mirza clarified that the taxes included in your bill are actually determined by the government, not K-Electric itself. [02:49]
The Peak Hour Problem
One of the most significant factors impacting your K-Electric bill is your electricity consumption during “peak hours.” These are specific times of the day when electricity demand is highest, and K-Electric charges almost double the regular rate for usage during these periods. According to Haider, peak hours typically fall between 6 PM and 9 PM. [03:50]
How to Save Money on Your Bill
Haider offers a simple yet effective tip to lower your K-Electric bill: minimize your electricity usage during peak hours.

This could include postponing energy-intensive tasks like laundry or running the dishwasher until after peak hours.
