ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Meter Point Administration Number

Okay kiddo, let me explain what a meter point administration number is.

Do you know what a meter is? It's a device used to measure things like electricity, gas or water that we use in our homes.

And the Meter Point Administration Number (or MPAN for short) is a unique 21-digit number that identifies your electricity supply point. It's like your home address, but for your electricity supply.

To make it easier to understand, imagine that you're playing hide-and-seek. Your MPAN is like the special code that tells your friend where to find you. Just like how your MPAN helps the electricity companies know exactly which home needs electricity and how much they should charge you for it.

So, if you ever need to talk to your energy supplier about your bill or if there's a problem with your electricity supply, you'll need to know your MPAN number.

I hope that helps you understand what a meter point administration number is, buddy!
