Your electricity MPAN (Meter Point Administration Number) is the unique identifying number for your property. Your MPAN is sometimes referred to as a Supply Number. It is unique to your property and does not change if you change supplier. The gas equivalent is the Meter Point Reference Number.
Your MPAN should be printed on your recent electricity bill. Do not confuse your MPAN number with your electricity supplier account number or the meter serial number printed on your electricity meter. The format of a MPAN is standard and will normally be shown on your bill using a large ‘S’ and a grid of numbers. Your MPAN number is 21 digits long and should be printed in the format below on a recent electricity bill:
