Frequently asked questions
How long does a new TESCO meter take?
After the demand notice is paid, NEPRA's performance standards oblige the company to energise the connection within a set period; if it is late, file a complaint.
How much does a new connection cost?
The fee depends on the load, the tariff category and the distance to the nearest pole, and is stated on your demand notice.
Can a tenant apply?
Yes, with a rent agreement and the owner's NOC in place of ownership documents.
