GEPCO New Connection Apply Online: 8 Documents, ENC Form and 30, 44 or 73 Days by Load in Gujranwala (Punjab)

GEPCO, the Gujranwala Electric Power Company, supplies Gujranwala, Sialkot, Gujrat, Narowal, Hafizabad and Mandi Bahauddin. We read GEPCO's New Connection page and its four Urdu procedure boards, the ENC online form and NEPRA's updated Consumer Service Manual, which GEPCO hosts, on 11 November 2026. Here is what each one says.

Where to apply for a GEPCO connection

GEPCO's New Connection page says "Click on Any Image Below To Apply Online For New Connection", and every image opens the ENC portal. You can also take the free form to your sub-division. Both routes end in the same survey and demand notice.

GEPCO's first board says the form is available in Urdu and English, free, from the company website or your office. NEPRA's manual says the same: no one may charge you for the form.

Documents on GEPCO's procedure board

GEPCO's Urdu board lists eight papers for a normal connection. A home or shop on a single-phase meter does not need the two witness papers. Industrial and company applicants need extra papers, and a load change needs two more.

1. Three copies of the application form.
2. A copy of the tariff, signed by you and two witnesses. Not needed for single-phase homes and shops.
3. Ownership proof: registry, fard, sale deed or allotment letter. Every page must be attested by an oath commissioner, notary public or grade 17 officer.
4. Your undertaking on attested stamp paper that no connection existed before and you will pay any old dues found later.
5. If the property has more than one owner, the other owners' permission on attested stamp paper.
6. If you rent, the owner's permission on attested stamp paper.
7. An attested copy of your CNIC.
8. Attested CNIC copies of two witnesses. Not needed for a single-phase meter.

Industrial applicants add a power of attorney from co-owners, a site plan, the memorandum and incorporation certificate, directors' CNIC copies, a Form 29 NOC and an SECP charge creation certificate. For a change of name or load, GEPCO adds a revenue officer's clearance certificate and, for load changes, a wiring test report. NEPRA's rules on these papers are in our page on new connection documents and the demand notice.

How to fill the ENC form for GEPCO

The online form asks for a neighbour's reference number, your load category, your appliances and five scanned files. Each file must be a JPG or PDF of 300 KB or less, so shrink phone photos before you start.

1. Open enc.com.pk and press Apply.
2. Enter a neighbour's 14-digit reference number, or the existing one if your premises already has a connection.
3. Choose GEPCO, your sub-division and the load category.
4. Enter your details in English, two mobile numbers, and whether you are the owner or a tenant.
5. Add your appliances with their watts.
6. Upload the property document, your CNIC, a witness's CNIC, the neighbour's bill and the wiring test report.
7. Submit and keep the tracking ID. Use it to track the application on ENC.

We read the form's fields on 11 November 2026 but did not submit it, because that would open a real case at GEPCO.

GEPCO timeline: 30, 44 or 73 days

GEPCO's boards give 30 days for loads up to 15 kW, 44 days for 16 to 70 kW and 73 days for 71 to 500 kW. NEPRA's manual agrees on the first two, but sets 58 days for the 71 to 500 kW category.

The two figures for category 3 differ, and we cannot tell from either page which is newer in practice. The NEPRA manual is the regulator's document, dated 26 November 2025, so it is the one to quote if GEPCO is late. The manual says the company must explain each day of delay in writing, with a copy to NEPRA.

GEPCO deposit and demand notice

NEPRA's manual sets the security deposit at Rs 1,220 per kW for urban homes and Rs 610 per kW for rural homes. Shops pay Rs 1,810 urban and Rs 920 rural. You get 30 days to pay the demand notice, plus 30 more on a written request.

By our arithmetic, a 4 kW home in Gujranwala city pays Rs 4,880 in deposit. The same home in a village pays Rs 2,440. The connection cost on top is the actual material cost plus 12% store handling, plus 8% for installation, so the exact amount is on your demand notice. GEPCO did not list a flat single-phase fee on its site when we checked.

Ask for the extra 30 days at least three days before the demand notice expires. NEPRA also says homes up to 20 kW and shops up to 15 kW pay no escalation charge if material prices rise during the work.

If GEPCO is late or refuses

Go first to your SDO with the tracking ID, demand notice and paid receipt. If that fails, call 118 or GEPCO's office numbers, then complain to NEPRA. A refusal must come with written reasons under the manual.

Office numbers for each area are on our GEPCO complaint and SDO numbers page. Once the meter is in, your first bill is on GEPCO online bill check.

Open the New Connection page on gepco.com.pk and click any image, or go straight to enc.com.pk and press Apply.

How many days does GEPCO take for a home meter?

30 days for loads up to 15 kW, counted under GEPCO's board and NEPRA's manual.

Do I need witnesses for a single-phase GEPCO meter?

No. GEPCO's board says witness signatures and witness CNIC copies are not needed for single-phase homes and shops.

What is the GEPCO security deposit for a house?

NEPRA's manual sets Rs 1,220 per kW in urban areas and Rs 610 per kW in rural areas.

Can a tenant get a GEPCO connection?

Yes, with the owner's permission on attested stamp paper and the owner's ownership proof.

Why does GEPCO say 73 days and NEPRA 58 for big loads?

The two documents differ for 71 to 500 kW. Quote NEPRA's 2025 manual, the regulator's own text, if GEPCO is late.
