In a big relief to industrial and commercial power consumers, UP Power Corporation Limited announced that it would not levy fixed charges on the connections of these two categories of consumers for March and April.
The UPPCL decision will benefit 17.32 lakh consumers of industrial and commercial categories.
The UPPCL also announced that power bills for April for industrial and commercial consumers would be raised as per actual power consumption instead of average bill on the basis of consumption of last three months.
The UPPCL made these announcements following assurance given by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath that fixed charge would not be levied on industrial and commercial consumers due to lockdown.
Fixed charge on per kilowatt at the rate of a minimum Rs 100 per kW is levied on all categories of consumers by the UPPCL and consumers are required to pay even if power consumption is nil.
