If you landed here, there’s a good chance your electricity bill hasn’t arrived yet, or maybe you just want a quick duplicate copy before the due date. That happens a lot in Pakistan, especially during summer when electricity usage increases and bills become more important to track.
The good news is that you can now do a complete MEPCO bill online check from your mobile or laptop within a minute. No need to visit an office or wait for the paper bill.
I’ve noticed many users get confused between the reference number, consumer ID, and the official MEPCO system. So in this guide, I’ll explain everything in simple language — from checking your duplicate bill to understanding tariffs, taxes, complaints, peak hours, and even solar net metering.
What Is MEPCO?
Multan Electric Power Company, commonly called MEPCO, is one of the largest electricity distribution companies in Pakistan. It supplies electricity to South Punjab regions including Multan, Bahawalpur, Dera Ghazi Khan, and nearby districts.

Latest Electricity Unit Rate Guide for Pakistan
Electricity charges in Pakistan depend on the total number of units consumed during a billing month and the tariff category assigned by the electricity provider. Consumers are billed under different slab systems, where the per-unit price may increase with higher electricity usage. Separate tariff structures exist for residential, commercial, and industrial connections, while additional charges such as taxes and fuel adjustments can also affect the final bill amount.
Residential Electricity Tariff Slabs
| Units Consumed | Category | Approx Unit Price (PKR) |
|---|---|---|
| 0-100 units | Protected | 10.50 |
| 101-200 units | Protected | 13.50 |
| 201-300 units | Non-Protected | 34.00 |
| 301-400 units | Non-Protected | 39.00 |
| Above 400 units | Non-Protected | 42.00 |
Note: Actual electricity unit prices in Pakistan may vary by distribution company and are subject to government updates. Check with your local DISCO for current rates.

Electricity Saving Tips
Switch to appliances with high energy star ratings and efficient motors to reduce electricity consumption.
Unplug electronics and appliances when not in use to avoid standby power consumption, also known as vampire power.
Replace incandescent bulbs with LED lights which use 75% less energy and last much longer.
Set AC temperature to 24C, use ceiling fans, and maintain proper insulation to reduce cooling costs.
Install solar panels or use solar-powered devices where possible to generate your own clean electricity.

If you lost your bill completely, contacting the helpline is the better option.
