WAPDA Rules 2025: Multiple Meters Allowed in a House – Major October Update Announced
In a major development for electricity consumers across Pakistan, WAPDA announced new rules in October 2025, allowing households to install multiple electricity meters within a single property. 🏠⚡ This update comes as part of WAPDA’s efforts to simplify billing, reduce overcharging, and provide flexible connections for families and tenants.
⚙️ Why the Change?
Many houses in Pakistan, especially multi-family homes or rented portions, face billing conflicts due to shared meters. Under the new WAPDA Rules 2025, homeowners and tenants can now apply for separate meters for each floor, portion, or business unit within the same property.
👉 This policy aims to improve transparency, promote accurate billing, and help users manage electricity consumption more efficiently.
