Where to Find the Reference Number
Locating the number is simple if you have an old physical bill lying around the house:
- Grab any old printed MEPCO bill from previous months.

- Look for a clearly defined box titled "Reference No" or "Ref No".
- You will see a string of numbers formatted in blocks, for example:
15 15123 1234567.
