The details for 2024-25 are as follows: 1. Up to 1 kW: ₹75 per kW per month. 2. Above 1 kW and up to 2 kW: ₹100 per kW per month. 3. Above 2 kW and up to 4 kW: ₹120 per kW per month. 4. Above 4 kW: ₹150 per kW per month. These fixed charges are applicable along with energy charges based on consumption slabs​ Under the LMV-1 (Domestic) category of UPPCL for the year 2024-25, the energy charges (per unit) are applied based on consumption slabs: 1. Up to 150 units: ₹3.35 per unit. 2. Above 150 and up to 300 units: ₹5.20 per unit. 3. Above 300 units: ₹6.50 per unit. These charges are exclusive of other applicable surcharges, taxes, and fixed charges​ In the LMV-1 (Domestic) category under UPPCL, penalties for exceeding the sanctioned load or maximum demand are structured as follows: 1. Consumers with demand recording meters (LVM/TOD): • If the recorded demand exceeds the sanctioned load in a month, the excess demand is charged at 100% of the normal tariff rates in addition to the fixed and energy charges for the total recorded demand. • If the excess demand continues for three consecutive months, the consumer will be issued a notice to enhance the sanctioned load, and additional charges will be applicable retroactively for the excess period​ 2.Consumers without demand meters: • The penalties for exceeding the sanctioned load are determined under the Electricity Supply Code, 2005, and similar surcharge rates may apply depending on the circumstances​ These penalties aim to encourage users to maintain their demand within the contracted limits, ensuring system reliability. Let me know if you need more details or a link to the exact documents. This revision is particularly relevant under the LMV1 category, which covers domestic consumers. It helps align contracted demands with actual usage to reduce penalties and improve operational planning for both consumers and utilities​ Both three months and six months have been referenced in different guidelines, which can create confusion. Here's the clarification based on the latest rules and updates: 2. Older UPPCL/UPERC Rules (3 Months): Earlier guidelines mentioned that if a consumer exceeds their sanctioned load for three consecutive months, they would be issued a notice to either enhance their sanctioned load or face penalties. This is a standard practice found in many utility regulations​ 2.Recent UPERC Update (6 Months): In a newer directive, UPERC has specified that if a consumer consistently exceeds their maximum demand for six consecutive months, the sanctioned load must be enhanced automatically to align with the higher recorded demand. This is aimed at ensuring fairness and better network planning​ The guidelines for enhancing the maximum demand (MD) or sanctioned load after consistent violations vary based on the duration of the breach. According to the Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (UPERC): The specific clauses outlining these rules can be found in the amendments to the UP Electricity Supply Code, 2005. For exact references and further clarification, consulting UPERC's official supply code amendments or your local electricity distribution company is recommended. The specific rules about maximum demand (MD) violations are part of the UPERC Electricity Supply Code and its amendments. Here are the exact details: Three-Month Rule: • As per Clause 6.9(B)(v) of the Electricity Supply Code, 2005, and its amendments: • If a consumer exceeds their sanctioned load for three consecutive months, the licensee must serve a notice requiring them to enhance the sanctioned load within 30 days. • After this period, the excess load is merged with the previously sanctioned load, and additional charges are applied retroactively​ Six-Month Rule: • Under the newer guidelines discussed by UPERC: • A consistent violation of MD for six months leads to automatic enhancement of the sanctioned load to match the recorded MD. This is outlined in recent directives from UPERC aimed at system efficiency and better compliance​ To access these rules directly, you can refer to: • The UPERC Electricity Supply Code, 2005 and its amendments (e.g., the Fifth Amendment, 2014). • UPERC's official site: UPERC.org.
