Base estimate includes energy + fixed charges + 18% GST. Actual bill may add monthly FCA (Rs 3.0–4.5/unit) and NJ surcharge.
MEPCO follows NEPRA's progressive tariff slabs. Your bill includes energy charges (based on consumption slab), fixed charges (Rs 200/300/400), 18% GST, Fuel Cost Adjustment (FCA), Neelum-Jhelum surcharge, and TV license fee. MEPCO's FCA tends to be slightly higher than other DISCOs due to transmission losses.

With MEPCO’s high summer tariffs, solar net metering is a smart investment. A 5kW system costs ~Rs 700,000 and generates ~825 kWh/month. If you consume 400 units monthly, you can save Rs 25,000‑30,000 per month, giving a payback period of just 2.5‑3 years. After payback, enjoy near‑free electricity for 20+ years.
How to apply: Hire an NEPRA‑certified vendor, submit application to MEPCO’s net metering cell, pay fee (~Rs 8,000), and after inspection, MEPCO installs a bidirectional meter. Processing typically takes 30‑60 days.
