Complete Guide: How to Apply for a New MEPCO Connection (ENC System)

If you have constructed a new house, opened a new shop, or want to split the electrical load of an existing property, you will need a new MEPCO electricity connection. The Government of Pakistan has digitized this process through the Electricity New Connection (ENC) Portal.

Step-by-Step New Meter Application Process:

1. Visit the ENC Portal: Go to the official ENC website (enc.com.pk).
2. Select Application Type: Choose "New Connection" and select your DISCO as "MEPCO".
3. Fill out the Form: Select your category (Domestic, Commercial, Industrial, or Agriculture) and input your personal details.
4. Neighbor's Reference: You must provide the reference number of an existing neighboring MEPCO meter to help linemen locate your property easily.
5. Upload Documents: Scan and upload the required documents (max file size 300KB each).
6. Submit and Print: Submit the online application, print a hard copy of the form, attach physical copies of your documents, and submit the complete file to your local MEPCO Sub-Division Office.

Required Documents for a New Connection:

• Attested copy of the applicant’s CNIC.
• Attested copy of the property document (Registry, Allotment Letter, or Fard).
• An undertaking on a Stamp Paper (Affidavit) stating there are no previous unpaid dues on this property.
• If you are a tenant, an NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the property owner.

MEPCO New Connection Fee & Demand Notice Charges (2026 Estimates)

Once your application is approved by the SDO (Sub-Divisional Officer), MEPCO will issue a Demand Notice. This is the official fee you must pay in a designated bank to get your meter installed.

Note: The exact Demand Notice fee depends on the length of the service cable required from the nearest pole to your premises.

Connection Type	Estimated Cost Range (PKR)	Ideal For
Single Phase Meter	Rs. 8,500 – Rs. 15,000	Small homes, apartments, and small shops (Load under 5kW).
Three Phase Meter	Rs. 25,000 – Rs. 40,000	Large homes with multiple ACs, small factories, and plazas (Load above 5kW).
Tubewell / Agriculture	Varies strictly on distance & transformer	Agricultural lands requiring heavy water extraction pumps.

Understanding Types of Electricity Meters

When applying for a connection or upgrading your existing one, it is important to know the type of meter MEPCO installs:

1. Digital Static Meters: The standard meters currently installed across Pakistan. They display a digital readout of your consumed kWh (units) and maximum demand (MDI).
2. Smart Meters (AMI): Advanced Metering Infrastructure is being slowly rolled out. These meters send your reading automatically to the MEPCO server via a built-in SIM card, eliminating the need for a meter reader to visit your house and completely eradicating over-billing issues.
3. Green Meters (Bi-Directional): Specifically designed for Solar Net Metering. This meter calculates both the units you "import" from MEPCO and the units you "export" to the grid from your solar panels.

Comprehensive Breakdown of MEPCO Bill Taxes & Surcharges

To provide total transparency, here is what actually goes into calculating the final payable amount on your MEPCO bill. The base tariff is just one part of the cost; various government taxes heavily influence the total.

Tax/Surcharge Name	Detailed Explanation
Electricity Duty (E.D)	A provincial tax levied on your electricity consumption. It is usually 1% to 1.5% of the total variable charges.
FPA (Fuel Price Adjustment)	If the cost of generating electricity (fuel, oil, LNG) is higher than NEPRA's estimated cost for a particular month, the difference is passed to consumers as FPA in the following months.
GST (General Sales Tax)	A mandatory 18% tax levied by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) on the total electricity cost.
Income Tax (Advance Tax)	Applicable heavily on non-filers. If your bill exceeds Rs. 25,000, you will see a high advance income tax. Active taxpayers (filers) can claim this during their annual tax returns.
TR Surcharge (Tariff Rationalization)	The financial gap between NEPRA's decided rate and the Government's uniform rate across Pakistan. It helps subsidize electricity for certain sectors or regions.
FC Surcharge (Financing Cost)	Charged at approximately Rs. 0.43 per unit to help the power sector pay off circular debt markups (Power Holding Private Limited).
PTV Fee	A flat fee of Rs. 35 added to every domestic consumer's bill to fund Pakistan Television. Commercial bills have a higher PTV fee (Rs. 60).

How to Get Your MEPCO Bill Converted into Installments?

If you receive an unexpectedly high bill and cannot pay it all at once, MEPCO offers a facility to pay in installments. However, different officers have different limits for approving installments:

• Up to Rs. 2,000: AMO (Assistant Manager Operations) can approve up to 3 installments.
• Up to Rs. 10,000: SDO (Sub-Divisional Officer) can approve up to 3 installments.
• Up to Rs. 100,000: XEN (Executive Engineer) can approve up to 3 installments.
• Up to Rs. 500,000: SE (Superintending Engineer) can approve up to 4 installments.
• Above Rs. 500,000: CEO (Chief Executive Officer) MEPCO handles the request.

Important Note: If you pay your current bill in installments, a Late Payment Surcharge (LPS) is usually added to the remaining balance in your next bill.

How to Change the Name or Tariff on Your MEPCO Bill?

If you have purchased a new home, it is legally recommended to transfer the electricity meter to your own name. Alternatively, if you are running a shop in a residential area, you must convert your tariff from Domestic to Commercial to avoid heavy fines.

The Process: The procedure is identical to applying for a new connection. You must visit the ENC portal, select "Change of Name/Tariff/Load", and fill out the application. You will need to provide the new property registry (proof of ownership) and an affidavit. Once approved, the next month's bill will arrive with the updated name and tariff category.

MEPCO Peak Hours: How to Significantly Reduce Your Bill

MEPCO calculates electricity units differently depending on the time of day. High-consumption appliances used during "Peak Hours" will cost you drastically more per unit.

• Summer Peak Hours (April to October): 6:30 PM to 10:30 PM
• Winter Peak Hours (November to March): 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM

Energy Saving Tips: To protect yourself from high unit slabs, avoid using Air Conditioners, Water Motors, Washing Machines, Microwaves, and Electric Irons during these four hours. Shift heavy usage to the early morning or late night (Off-Peak hours) to maximize savings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can I check my MEPCO bill by CNIC or Name? No. To protect consumer privacy, MEPCO's digital billing system only fetches records via the 14-digit Reference Number or the 10-digit Customer ID. Name, address, or CNIC tracking is not available for public use.

2. Why is my bill showing "Blocked" or "Not Found"? This error occurs if you type the wrong digits, or if you are checking the bill between the 1st and 4th of the month. During these days, MEPCO updates its central database with the new month's billing data, causing temporary website downtime.

3. My meter reading is incorrect. How can I fix this? Take a clear picture of your current physical meter reading. Visit your local MEPCO sub-division office and present the picture to the relevant billing clerk. They will generate a corrected, revised bill for you on the spot.

4. What happens if I pay my bill after the due date? A Late Payment Surcharge (LPS), typically calculated as a percentage of the total bill, will be added as a penalty. The unpaid amount plus the LPS will be carried forward to the next month's bill as "Arrears."

5. How do I register a complaint regarding power outages (Load Shedding)? You can call the toll-free MEPCO helpline at 118 or send an SMS with your reference number and complaint to 8118. You can also use the federal Roshan Pakistan mobile app to track load-shedding schedules for your specific feeder.
