How UPPCL Electricity Bills are Calculated (Official UPERC Slabs)

Your monthly power bill across Uttar Pradesh is governed by statutory rate orders issued by the Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (UPERC). The final bill comprises three core building blocks:

Total Bill = (Base Energy Charges − 2% Smart Rebate) + Fixed Demand Charges + 5% UP State Duty
1. Telescopic Energy Charges:

• Urban (LMV-1b): First 150 units are charged at ₹5.50, units between 151–300 at ₹6.00, and units above 300 at ₹6.50 per unit.

• Rural (LMV-1a): Subsidized slabs starting from ₹3.35/unit (0–100 units) to ₹5.50/unit (>300 units).

• Prepaid 2% Rebate: Automatically deducted from energy charges for consumers with prepaid smart meters.

2. Fixed Demand Charges & State Duty:

• Fixed Load Charges: Billed at ₹110 per kW connected load per month in urban areas, and ₹90 per kW in rural areas.

• Electricity Duty (ED): 5% statutory state tax levied on the net sum of energy and fixed charges.

• Solar Net-Metering: Units exported to grid via rooftop solar are deducted 1:1 against consumed units.
