To check a NEPRA appeal decision on an electricity bill case, open the Appellate Board page under Consumer Affairs on nepra.org.pk, choose your power company, and search the list for your name or appeal number. Each entry gives the decision date, the appeal number, the two parties and the date of the Electric Inspector's decision being appealed, with a link to the full decision as a PDF. NEPRA's lists carry 143 decisions dated 2026, and at least 125 of those appeals were filed by power companies, not consumers.

Most people who reach this stage won a billing or metering case before the provincial Electric Inspector, known in law as the Provincial Office of Inspection. The power company can then appeal to NEPRA, the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority. We read NEPRA's Appellate Board pages for every company on 31 October 2026 and counted the 2026 entries ourselves.

NEPRA lists appeal decisions company by company

NEPRA's Appellate Board page links to one list for each power company: FESCO, GEPCO, HAZECO, HESCO, IESCO, LESCO, MEPCO, PESCO, QESCO, SEPCO, TESCO and K-Electric. Newest decisions are at the top. Each row ends with a View link to the decision.

  1. Go to nepra.org.pk, open Consumer Affairs, then Appellate Board.
  2. Click your power company's name.
  3. Press Ctrl and F on a computer, or use Find in page on a phone.
  4. Type your surname, or your appeal number such as 057/2026.
  5. Read the row: decision date, parties and the Electric Inspector's decision date.
  6. Click View to open the decision PDF and save a copy.

On the main page, the GEPCO and IESCO name links pointed back to the same page when we checked. Their lists do exist. Click the company's icon instead, or open the LESCO list and change LESCO to GEPCO or IESCO at the end of the web address.

"Filed by the company" counts rows where the company's name comes first in the appeal title, such as "LESCO vs. Bashir Ahmad". Twelve 2026 appeals were filed by consumers, and six titles we could not sort. All the counts are ours, from NEPRA's lists.

What a list entry tells you

A typical row reads: 15-10-2026, Appeal No. 057/2026 (LESCO vs. Bashir Ahmad) against the decision dated 27.02.2026 of the Provincial Office of Inspection, Government of the Punjab, Lahore Region-II. So you can see who appealed, against which Electric Inspector order, and when NEPRA decided.

The list does not say who won. For that you have to open the PDF. The decision files we opened are scanned images, so on a phone you may need to zoom to read them.

The law allows 30 days to appeal and 60 days to decide

Section 38(3) of the NEPRA Act says anyone aggrieved by an Electric Inspector's decision may appeal to NEPRA within 30 days of receiving the order, and NEPRA "shall decide such appeal within sixty days". Both sides, consumer or company, can use it.

The 2026 list shows longer gaps in practice. Counting from the Electric Inspector's decision date to NEPRA's decision date, the middle case among the 143 took 388 days, by our arithmetic. That count includes the time to file and any delay in receiving the order, which the list does not show.

If you won before the Electric Inspector, check whether your company has appealed before you assume the case is over. If you lost, the 30 day clock starts when you receive the order. How the first stage works is explained in appealing a wrong bill to the Provincial Office of Inspection, and Punjab's offices are listed in Electric Inspector contact numbers in Punjab.

Complaints that are not about an Electric Inspector order, such as delays or poor service, go to NEPRA's ordinary complaint system instead. The general route is in complaining about a wrong electricity bill.

Common questions

How do I check my NEPRA appeal decision?

Open Consumer Affairs, then Appellate Board, on nepra.org.pk, choose your company and search the list for your name or appeal number.

Can I search by CNIC or reference number?

No. The lists show only names, appeal numbers and dates, so search by name or appeal number.

How long do I have to appeal to NEPRA?

Thirty days from receiving the Electric Inspector's order, under section 38(3) of the NEPRA Act.

Does the list show who won?

No. Open the decision PDF from the View link to read the outcome.

Which company has the most appeal decisions?

LESCO, with 489 decisions listed in total and 58 dated 2026, by our count on 31 October 2026.

Can a power company appeal a decision I won?

Yes. Section 38(3) lets any aggrieved person appeal, and most 2026 appeals on NEPRA's lists were filed by companies.

How we verified this

What we checked, where we read it, and what we could not confirm.

We read NEPRA's Appellate Board page and each company's list, including the LESCO list, on 31 October 2026, and parsed every row. We read section 38 of the NEPRA Act in NEPRA's updated text to December 2021 on its Legal page. All counts, the company or consumer split and the 388 day median are our arithmetic from the list dates. We opened two decision PDFs but they are scanned images that our tools could not turn into text, so we make no claim about who won any case.
