Reduce Your Electricity Bill with MEPCO Green Meter

A MEPCO green meter is a bidirectional meter that tracks and provides real-time information about both consumed and exported electricity. Exported electricity refers to the selling of surplus energy generated by your solar systems to the national grid. This transaction can earn you credits, reduced electricity bills, and sometimes monetary benefits depending on net metering and net billing. This is why it is essential to know the difference between both.

MEPCO Green Meter Unit Price

The current MEPCO green meter unit price, according to NEPRA, is Rs. 19.32 per kilowatt-hour (kWh). This is the rate at which the national grid purchases surplus energy from the consumers under net billing.

MEPCO Green Meter Peak Hours

Electricity prices vary depending on peak and off-peak hours. MEPCO green meter peak hours is a duration every day, usually in the evenings, when MEPCO applies Time of Use (TOU) tariffs. It means that consumption during these hours is charged more than usual, and saving energy can help reduce grid load.
