Changing an Existing MEPCO Connection
MEPCO treats a name change after buying a property like a new connection, charges the security-deposit difference for a load increase, and recovers past subsidy when a home connection becomes commercial. Each change below is summarised from MEPCO’s own FAQs; apply at your sub-division office.

| Change | What MEPCO says it involves |
|---|---|
| Name change after buying a property | Same procedure as a new connection |
| Load extension | Pay the security-deposit difference between the approved and the new load; material costs and recovery of any subsidy the connection received may also apply |
| Load reduction | No security-deposit revision charge |
| Tariff change, domestic to commercial | Only for an active connection where technically feasible; you pay recovery of past subsidy, the cost of materials, and the security-deposit difference at current rates |
| Moving the connection to another site | Allowed if the new site is in your name; you pay removal and reinstallation, extra materials and an updated security deposit at current rates |
| Moving a pole or line on your property | Apply in writing to the Executive Engineer (Operations); MEPCO estimates the cost and you pay it |
| Reconnection after disconnection for non-payment | Clear all arrears, sign an affidavit, pay an updated security deposit and sign a new agreement |
Before you pay anything
Ask for a written cost estimate, and pay only through official bill or bank channels. PITC’s complaint website warns consumers never to send money for meters, bill adjustments, new connections or any other electricity service through Easypaisa, JazzCash or bank transfer to an individual’s account, and to report such requests to 118 (PITC notice).
