Electricity Bill 2023 Update: There was a big increase in the rate, now the bill will have to be paid every month

Electricity Bill 2023 Update:

In Uttar Pradesh, the electricity bill is going to shock the electricity consumers in the midst of severe cold. Your electricity bill can increase by 13 to 15 percent in the winter months. This may lead to an increase of Rs 0.50 to Rs 1 per unit in power tariffs for domestic power consumers and commercial power consumers. Power companies have proposed new electricity rates before the State Electricity Regulatory Commission on Monday. After review, this proposal can be approved. Significantly, a cold wave alert has been issued by the Meteorological Department due to dense fog and temperature near zero, but in the meantime they may have to face increased electricity rates from next month.

In fact, the State Electricity Regulatory Commission has refused to give an extension of 2 months to the power companies to present the Annual Revenue Requirement (ARR) and tariff proposal for 2023-24. The Power Corporation is in the process of finalizing the ARR and tariff proposals following the order of the Regulatory Commission. However, how much will the electricity rates increase and how much will be the burden on the consumers and whether the government accepts the proposal to increase the electricity rates or not. This will be something to be seen. Here are the current electricity tariffs of the Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (UPERC).
