MPRN Numbers

For whatever reasons you’re looking to change gas suppliers, you’ll need your MPRN number. Find out what they are and where you can find yours.

What is an MPRN number?

MPRN stands for “Meter Point Reference Number” and is best described as a unique number for your gas meter. It’s sometimes called a gas supply number and should not be confused with your customer reference number nor your Meter Serial Number (MSN) which is a combination of numbers and letters. 

No two MPRN numbers are alike and are associated with a property rather than an energy supplier. That means if you switch providers, your details will change but not your MPRN. That said, you’ll still need to give your MPRN and MPAN number to the new supplier.

Where to find your MPRN?

You can find your gas Meter Point Reference Number (or M number) boxed on a recent gas bill in a six to 10 digit format usually starting with a 74 or 75. On newer gas meters, you should find the MPRN on the meter (meter box) itself.
