New Connection
MEPCO has now made the process easy and transparent for the installation of new electric meter connections in Multan or any other South Punjab district. For domestic, commercial, or industrial connections, you can now submit an MEPCO online meter application, receive your demand notice, and track its status easily.
Documents Required for New Connection
Before applying, make sure you have the following documents ready:
- Copy of CNIC (applicant/owner)
- Proof of ownership or tenancy agreement
- Attested affidavit confirming no arrears
- Wiring contractor test report
These documents are mandatory to process your new meter connection request.
How to Apply for MEPCO New Meter Connection
The process to apply is straightforward:
- Fill out the MEPCO new connection form (available online or at offices).
- Attach all required documents.
- Submit your application at the nearest MEPCO Customer Service Center or through the online portal.
- Receive your MEPCO demand notice (payment slip).
- Pay the demand notice at the designated bank.
- Once verified, your new meter connection will be installed.
This ensures a smooth and transparent process for all MEPCO consumers.
MEPCO Demand Notice & Tracking
A demand notice is an official slip issued by MEPCO that includes the new electricity connection fee and meter installation charges. After submission of your application, MEPCO generates this notice, which you must pay to proceed.
You can easily:
- Check the MEPCO demand notice online
- Track the WAPDA demand notice through the official portal
- Confirm payment status before installation
This step is important, as MEPCO will only install the meter after successful demand notice payment.
New Electricity Connection Fee & Meter Price in Pakistan
The new electricity connection fee depends on the type of connection:
- Domestic (residential households)
- Commercial (shops, offices, small businesses)
- Industrial (factories, large-scale units)
The charges include meter installation, security deposits, and service fees. While the electric meter price in Pakistan and the energy meter price in Pakistan vary, MEPCO provides updated rates through demand notices to ensure accuracy.
