How Can I Get My LESCO Connection Shifted to a New Place?

If you’re moving to a new house or relocating your business within LESCO’s service area, you don’t need to cancel your electricity connection and apply for a new one. Instead, LESCO (Lahore Electric Supply Company) allows you to shift your existing connection to a new location — provided certain technical and legal conditions are met.

Just like managing smooth transitions in digital systems such as B9 Game, shifting your LESCO connection also requires following a clear and transparent process to ensure uninterrupted service and proper record updates.

Eligibility for Connection Shifting

Before applying for a shift, LESCO ensures that the move is technically feasible — meaning the new premises must fall under LESCO’s operational network and have the proper wiring infrastructure.

Here are the main conditions you must fulfill

  1. Ownership Proof:
    The new location must be owned by the same person who holds the current connection, or by their legal heir.

If the new location belongs to a legal heir, a change of name will be processed simultaneously under official LESCO procedures.

  1. Pending Dues:
    There must be no outstanding arrears or unpaid bills on your current connection.
  2. Charges and Deposits:

You’ll be required to pay dismantlement and reinstallation charges, along with the cost of any extra material or equipment needed for shifting.

Your security deposit will also be updated according to current LESCO rates.

How to Apply for Shifting Your Connection?

To initiate your connection transfer, follow these official steps:

  1. Visit Your Nearest LESCO Sub-Division Office
    Bring the following documents:

Copy of your latest electricity bill.

CNIC of the registered consumer.

Proof of ownership (sale deed, allotment letter, or mutation certificate).

Written application for connection shifting.

  1. Technical Survey
    After your application, LESCO’s technical team will visit the new site to verify feasibility and estimate costs for dismantlement, reinstallation, and additional materials.
  2. Payment and Reconnection
    Once approved, you’ll receive a Demand Notice — pay it within the given deadline at your nearest bank or online channel.
    After payment, LESCO will proceed with dismantling the old setup and reinstalling the connection at your new address.

Timeline for Shifting

Generally, LESCO completes the connection shifting process within 15–25 working days, depending on the distance, feasibility, and technical workload. You can track your application status through the LESCO helpline or by visiting:

Important Tips Before Applying

Always clear any pending dues to avoid delays.

Ensure that the new property is properly wired for electricity before LESCO’s inspection.

Keep copies of all your submitted documents and payment receipts for future reference.

If shifting a three-phase or commercial connection, consult your local sub-division for additional requirements.

Final Thoughts

Shifting your LESCO connection is a straightforward process — as long as all dues are cleared and proper ownership documentation is available. It ensures continuity of electricity supply, prevents unnecessary paperwork, and keeps your record up-to-date in LESCO’s system.
