Lucknow. Electricity consumers in Uttar Pradesh have been shocked by the cost of expensive electricity. After about five years, Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited has secretly increased the electricity bill.
Now in the bill for the month of April, all consumers will have to pay 1.24% more electricity bill. Actually, UPPCL has made this increase as fuel surcharge.
With the increase in this fuel surcharge, your electricity bill will either increase or decrease every month on the lines of diesel and petrol. In simple language, your electricity bill will increase or decrease according to the load you have. The way this load surcharge has been imposed from April, it is not going to reduce your bill because the way the heat has increased and there is a possibility of it increasing further in the coming days, the bill will be higher and your pocket will be lighter. For example, if your bill in March is Rs 1000, then you will have to pay Rs 12.40 extra as fuel surcharge.
It is worth noting that recently the Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission had given the power companies the right to fix fuel and power purchase adjustment surcharge every month under the Multi Year Tariff Regulation- 2025. Under
this right received from this commission, for the first time in the state, an order has been given to collect fuel surcharge from consumers.
Electricity Consumer Council will protest
However, the Electricity Consumer Council has opposed the increase in electricity bill. UP Electricity Consumer Council President Awadhesh Verma said that UPPCL owes Rs 33122 crore to consumers. And UPPCL has increased this amount without returning the money of consumers. UP State Electricity Consumer Council will oppose this.
