Conversion Guide of Domestic energy meter Reference Number to GEPCO AMR Smart Net Meter Reference Number

This is a guide to help consumers to convert the ordinary GEPCO energy meter that is a  domestic energy meter reference number to GEPCO AMR smart net energy meter Reference Number.

When a domestic conventional energy meter is converted to an AMR Smart Energy Net Meter, the reference number of the old domestic meter is not completely changed. Instead, it is partially modified.

The rule is simple: Just replace the first two digits of your old reference number (for example, 15 or 16) with 22, and that becomes your new reference number.
Let’s explain this in detail.

What Is a GEPCO Reference Number?

The reference number is the digital identity of every electricity consumer in GEPCO and all other distribution companies across Pakistan. Every consumer has a unique reference number that contains details such as the consumer’s name, address, and billing information. This number is used to generate the electricity bill and make payments — whether in person, online, or via digital platforms.

Why Is the Reference Number Changed After Installing an AMR Smart Net Meter?

When a consumer opts to convert their conventional domestic meter to a Green Energy (AMR Smart Energy Net Meter) — which supports automatic meter reading at the GEPCO control room — the first question that usually comes to mind is:

“What will be my new reference number?”

Previously, consumers used their domestic meter reference number for billing and payments, so it’s natural to think that the new smart energy meter might have a completely different reference number. However, that’s not the case.

How to Convert Your Old Reference Number to the New AMR Net Meter Reference Number

The reference number change is very simple — there’s no need to contact GEPCO offices, no calculations, and no guesswork. You just need to replace the first two digits of your old reference number with 22, and that’s your new number.

For example:

That’s it!

This quick and straightforward method applies not only to GEPCO but also to other distribution companies across Pakistan, such as MEPCO, PESCO, HESCO, LESCO, and IESCO.

So, there’s no need to worry — simply replace the first two digits with 22, and you’ll instantly get your new reference number for your AMR Smart Energy Net Meter.

Check or Download Your GEPCO Bill Using the New Reference Number

So now it is the new digital identity for the net metering consumer with the automated reading facility. With this new number, you can easily check or download your GEPCO Bill Online or get a Duplicate GEPCO Bill without contacting any office.

If you are a GEPCO consumer and want to convert to Net Energy (Green Energy), simply apply for the Net Metering connection, which uses an AMR Smart Energy Meter.

It’s done. This will be your new reference number, and you can use it in exactly the same way as your old one for checking, downloading, or paying your GEPCO Bill Online.
