MEPCO New Connection 2026

MEPCO New Connection is the process of applying for a new electricity supply from Multan Electric Power Company (MEPCO) in South Punjab. Whether you are building a home, opening a shop, or moving into a new property, you need an official MEPCO electricity connection with a meter, consumer ID, and reference number before you can receive monthly bills.

Which Category Your MEPCO Connection Falls Into

MEPCO classifies new connections by usage type: domestic (residential), commercial (shops and offices), industrial (factories), agricultural (tubewell), and temporary (construction sites). Each category has different documentation requirements, security deposit amounts, and tariff rates. Select the correct category when submitting your application to avoid delays.

• Domestic: Houses, flats, and residential units
• Commercial: Shops, restaurants, and small businesses
• Industrial: Manufacturing units and workshops
• Agricultural: Tubewell and farm connections
• Temporary: Under-construction buildings (valid for limited period)

MEPCO New Connection Fee and Charges

New connection costs include application fee, security deposit, meter charges, and connection material costs. The total amount appears on the demand notice after site inspection.
