Step 11 – Meter Installation

The electricity meter is installed at the approved location after the required conditions have been fulfilled.

What Is a MEPCO Demand Notice?

A Demand Notice is an official document issued during the connection process that specifies charges payable by the applicant before the connection can proceed to the next stage.

The amount can depend on factors such as:

Connection type
Sanctioned load
Distance and technical requirements
Meter type
Material requirements
Installation requirements

Types of MEPCO New Connections by Load

MEPCO connections can be categorized according to applicable load requirements.

The load category can affect the application process, technical assessment, approval requirements, and expected processing time.

Category 1 – Up to 15 kW

This category can include relatively lower-load consumers such as:

Residential homes
Apartments
Small shops
Small offices
Other low-load premises

The processing time may be shorter than higher-load connections, subject to document verification and technical feasibility.

Category 2 – 16 to 70 kW

This category can be relevant to:

Medium commercial businesses
Schools
Offices
