In a bold move towards digitization and customer empowerment, the Islamabad Electric Supply Company (IESCO) has rolled out a revolutionary new tool — Apna Meter Apni Reading, a smart mobile application designed to transform how electricity billing is managed in Pakistan. The launch was officially announced by Muhammad Naeem Jan, the CEO of IESCO, who highlighted the government’s commitment to making energy services more transparent, user-friendly, and efficient.
So, what exactly is Apna Meter Apni Reading? It’s a simple yet powerful mobile app that allows consumers to take their own electricity meter readings. Instead of waiting for a meter reader to visit your home — which often results in delayed or inaccurate readings — you now have the power to snap a photo or manually submit your meter reading directly through the app. This self-metering system ensures timely, accurate, and transparent billing, giving consumers full visibility into their electricity consumption.

This initiative, spearheaded by the Government of Pakistan in collaboration with the Ministry of Energy (Power Division), is a major leap toward modernizing utility services. The app not only solves the long-standing issue of estimated or incorrect bills but also puts the consumer in the driver’s seat. You get to monitor your usage in real time, prevent billing surprises, and ensure you’re only paying for what you actually consume.
One of the biggest benefits of this application is empowerment. No more waiting for officials, no more disputes over wrong readings, and certainly no more surprises when the bill arrives. The process is simple: just use the app on the specified date, enter your meter reading, and send it off to IESCO. That’s it! It’s quick, efficient, and most importantly — it puts the control in your hands.
In a time when electricity prices and usage patterns are changing rapidly, this app could be the game-changer Pakistan’s energy consumers have been waiting for. It’s not just an app — it’s a step toward energy awareness, consumer responsibility, and billing transparency.
