SEPCO online bill payment is an effortless task. There are many ways by which a person can pay the SEPCO bill online, and the online bill is paid through apps and websites. First of all, let’s talk about the apps that provide the service of bill payment online.

SEPCO Bill Calculator

People like to predetermine their electricity bills. Most of the time, the online SEPCO bill uploads first, and the original hard copy arrives later. People who are always cautious of their monthly budget always keep an eye on their meters to check how many units they have consumed, etc. To calculate the SEPCO bill, there is a simple formula. According to that formula, multiply the total number of consumed units by the rate of each unit. Then add all the taxes and additional charges to the result—the final answer is the electricity bill estimate.

Well, to aid people in this case, there are many tools available on billing websites. We have to fill in the required boxes or blanks, and that tool will calculate the bill. Such a tool is known as the SEPCO bill calculator.

SEPCO New Connection Method

It can be domestic, commercial, industrial, agricultural, etc. This information is necessary because the price per unit depends upon the sector according to the general tariff in Pakistan. Generally, the cost per unit in the domestic sector is less than in the commercial sector.

Similarly, the price per unit in the commercial sector is less than in the industrial sector. The SEPCO bill calculator will calculate the bill while keeping the tariff rates under consideration. The types of connections are

SEPCO New Connection

Phase Type

The customer should know what type of phase connection he has applied for. There are two types of phase connections.

Single-phase connection: in this type of connection, only one live wire provides the power to the whole house. People opt for this connection when the electricity consumption in their places is low. Single-phase connection carries the load of the refrigerator, ac, fans, and lights.

Three-Phase Connection: This type of connection in which three live wires provide electricity to the house. People usually opt for this connection when they are in the industrial, commercial, or agricultural sectors. The houses in the domestic sector with many appliances also apply for this type of connection.

Unit Consumed

To calculate the SEPCO bills, the customer must know the number of units consumed. Moreover, he should know how many patterns he could insert in the number of units consumed.

KWH: It stands for Kilowatt Hour. 1KWH tells about the consumption of a thousand watts in an hour.

KVARH: It stands for Kilo Volt Ampere Reactive hours. A KVARH has a thousand volts ampere reactive hour.

MDI: It stands for Maximum Demand Indicator, and it stands for the maximum amount of power used during an average measure of time.

SEPCO Peak and Off-peak Hours

SEPCO Peak Hours: The customer should know about the SEPCO peak hours. It is the time when electricity becomes most expensive.

SEPCO Off-Peak Hours: The customer should have basic information about the SEPCO off-peak hours as well. It is the time when electricity becomes the least expensive.

Meter Rent: The distributors provide the meters, and they own the meters. So if a customer is using a meter of a distributor, he has to pay a specific amount with the bill, and that amount is called meter rent and will go to the distributor.

Service Rent: Some customers have additional bills like service rent, and they should also add that amount while calculating the bill.

Arrears: If a customer did not pay any previous bill, his account would be considered in arrears. He has to pay all the last leftover bills to get away from this situation.

Duty On Electricity: There is a specific amount that goes straight to the state government. That amount is known as duty. To calculate the bill, the customer must know the exact percentage of duty on his bill. For example.

  • It is 1.5% for industrial and 1.5% for domestic
  • Similarly 2% on commercial and bulk each
  • In agricultural 1% of variable charges

General Sales Tax: It is the tax on goods and services, and it includes 17% of the gross amount.

SEPCO Load Shedding

Although Pakistan manufactures its energy, it still runs short of electricity at times. To cope with this situation, every power distributing company has fixed its hours for load shedding. Similarly, SEPCO also has a load shedding plan for Sukkur, Larkana, and Dadu. SEPCO also has a load shedding complaint cell, and people can also contact the regional complaint office in this case.

SEPCO Net Metering

Net metering is a new system introduced in Pakistan. This is one of the solar energy productions methods. Through this system, the customers can produce their energy.

Pakistan is a country with ample sunlight, and the state uses this sunlight to produce energy. Moreover, solar panels also play an essential role in converting solar energy to electricity—particular grids are required for this process. The solar panel provides the energy for the whole day, and the excess power is sold to the grid. In exchange, the customer receives accessible units of electricity.

To install the SEPCO net metering system, the following are the steps to follow:
  • Buy a solar panel. There are different solar panels in the market. The panel for domestic connection is different from the panel for the commercial, industrial, and agricultural sectors. Power consumption in each sector is kept under consideration while designing these solar panels.
  • The solar panels for the domestic sector are a bit small and low in power. But the solar panels for the industrial sector are huge and ultra-powerful.
  • The second step is to apply. Through that application, the customer takes permission from the regional headquarters of SEPCO to install a net metering system. Nepra has issued the guidelines for the net metering installation.
  • Installation of a new meter. The distributer installs the solar grid near the 3 phase connection wire. The distributor can help the customer, in this case, to choose the best meter and the grid.
  • After verifying the application, the SEPCO came to the customer’s house to see the whole solar panel system and the meter. Once they are completely satisfied, they sign a contract with the customer.
  • That contract is of a duration of 3 years which means the customer is independent for three years.
  • After three years, the customer needs to renew his contract.

SEPCO Net Metering Advantages

There are many advantages to a metering system. some of them are mentioned below:

  • Through this method, a customer can become independent. He does not need much electricity, and he can make his own electricity enough for his use. It also helps him to control the huge bills. The more solar energy he uses, the less will be his monthly electricity bill.
  • The customer can make many savings by opting for this system. This system is very budget-friendly, and one has to invest in this system only once. Afterward, he can enjoy the profit.
  • It is a method by which one can save power. The use of solar energy was already there in Pakistan for a long time. During the day, the solar panel is used to produce a tremendous amount of energy. As a result, people used that power, and the rest of the power got wasted. But such is not the case with net metering. You can use the energy produced during the day and, at the end of the day, sell the additional energy back to the grid. This way there is no wasted energy.
  • Through a net metering system, one can sell the energy to SEPCO and earn free units.

The cost of the net metering system is not the same all over Pakistan, and it is different for different sectors. The cost for a net metering system in the domestic sector is the lowest. If we talk about the domestic sector, the price of the meter remains the same. The customers from the domestic sector have to pay for the documentation and installation of the metering system. While commercial, industrial, and agricultural sectors use a huge amount of power, their charges also alter accordingly.
