How can I reduce my electricity bill in Pakistan?

Key strategies to reduce electricity bills in Pakistan: (1) Stay below 200 units/month — crossing into higher slabs increases the rate for all units; (2) Use energy-efficient ACs (5-star rated inverter ACs use 40-60% less power); (3) Shift heavy appliances to off-peak hours; (4) Install LED lights (use 80% less energy than incandescent); (5) Consider rooftop solar — net metering allows you to sell excess back to the DISCO.
