As a business energy expert, one of the most common questions we get from UK businesses is, "How do I find my MPAN number?"
Understanding your Meter Point Administration Number (MPAN) is crucial when switching energy suppliers, comparing tariffs, or resolving supply issues. In this guide, we’ll explain how to locate your MPAN and why it's important for your business.
What is an MPAN?
An MPAN (Meter Point Administration Number) is a unique 21-digit reference that identifies your business’s electricity supply point.
Sometimes people refer to this as the meter point reference number (MPRN), though technically, MPRN applies to gas meters. Your MPAN is essential when dealing with electricity suppliers.
How to Find Your MPAN
There are several ways to locate your MPAN:
1. Check your electricity bill
The easiest way to find your MPAN is on a recent electricity bill. It is usually found in a dedicated section labelled “Supply Number” or “Meter Point Administration Number”.
2. Contact your energy supplier
If you don’t have access to a recent bill, your energy supplier can provide you with your MPAN. Simply call their customer service team and request your meter point reference number.
3. Contact your local Distribution Network Operator (DNO)
If you don’t know who your energy supplier is, your local Distribution Network Operator (DNO) can help. They manage the electricity distribution in your region and can provide your MPAN.
What About MPRN for Gas?
While your MPAN is for electricity, your Meter Point Reference Number (MPRN) is used for gas supplies. If you need to find your MPRN, check your gas bill or contact your gas supplier.
Why Is Your MPAN Important?
Your MPAN is necessary for:
- Switching energy suppliers to get a better deal
- Comparing tariffs to lower costs
- Resolving supply issues with your distributor
- Managing multiple business sites efficiently
