Uttarakhand Power Corporation Ltd. supplies power to Entire Uttarakhand. Use this page to check UPCL's 2026-27 tariff and calculate your provisional bill.
UPCL scored 60.97 and ranks 25 of 54 state and private distribution utilities.
The rating scores the utility’s financial and operational performance — AT&C losses, billing and collection efficiency, the gap between what supply costs and what it earns, and the regulatory support the utility gets. It is not a measure of supply reliability or customer service, and it does not affect your tariff.
The ordinary household tariff: four telescopic slabs from ₹3.65 to ₹7.80, on a fixed charge whose per-kW rate is set by sanctioned load.
RTS-1
₹1.85/unit on a flat ₹18 per connection per month — charged per connection, not per kW.
RTS-1A
The concessional schedule for notified snowbound areas: ₹1.85/unit on ₹18 per connection per month, with no consumption slabs at all.
RTS-1
Bulk supply to a housing society or colony, billed on kVAh: ₹6.25/kVAh on ₹120/kVA/month.
ℹ️ Uttarakhand's domestic fixed charge is banded by sanctioned load, and the band selects a per-kW rate that applies to the whole load — a 3 kW connection pays 3 × ₹85 = ₹255, not a blended figure. Energy charges are telescopic across four slabs. Life Line and snowbound-area consumers instead pay a flat ₹18 per connection with no slabs. UERC has approved a prepaid rebate of 4% of energy charges for domestic consumers and 3% for other categories, applicable only once a prepaid meter is actually installed and operational. It is not applied automatically here. Electricity duty and other State levies sit outside the tariff schedule and are billed in addition.

Who each rate applies to
RTS-2
The smallest non-domestic band: ₹5.75/unit on ₹90/kW/month. Exceed 60 units in a month and you fall to the ₹7.75 schedule instead.
RTS-2
The general shop-and-office rate: ₹7.75/unit on ₹110/kW/month.
RTS-2
Billed on kVAh against a demand charge: ₹7.80/kVAh on ₹115/kVA/month, so a poor power factor raises the units charged.
RTS-2
₹6.00/unit on ₹90/kW/month. Above 25 kW the rate is ₹5.85/kVAh on ₹100/kVA.
RTS-2
₹6.00/unit on ₹90/kW/month. UERC has merged institutions above 10 kW into the ordinary non-domestic schedule.
RTS-2
The highest LT non-domestic rate: ₹8.60/unit on ₹140/kW/month.
ℹ️ None of the non-domestic categories are slabbed — each is a single rate on every unit, and what separates them is the load band and the fixed charge. The one consumption test in the schedule is at the bottom: the ₹5.75 rate needs BOTH load up to 4 kW and consumption up to 60 units a month, and losing either drops you to ₹7.75. Above 25 kW billing switches to kVAh against a demand charge. UERC has approved a prepaid rebate of 4% of energy charges for domestic consumers and 3% for other categories, applicable only once a prepaid meter is actually installed and operational. It is not applied automatically here.
Estimate your UPCL bill
Enter your units and sanctioned load for an itemised UPCL estimate. The result breaks
the bill into energy charge, fixed or demand charge, FPPA, duty,
and late-payment surcharge where applicable.
Domestic supply. The bracket in each option is the eligibility
limit — pick the one your connection actually falls under, because the rates differ
sharply between them. For commercial supply, time-of-day, solar export or arrears, the
full calculator carries every field.
UPCL FPPA — latest verified rate and trend
Latest verified UPCL FPPA (Fuel and Power Purchase Adjustment)
Typical domestic examples for a 2 kW RTS-1 (Domestic) connection, computed with the same engine as the calculator. Use them as a quick sanity check; your actual bill changes with sub-category, arrears, FPPA, duty and billing-period length.
The slab-wise price of the units consumed during the billing period. In telescopic slabs, each band is billed at its own rate.
Fixed charge
A monthly charge linked to sanctioned load, connected load, billing demand or consumer category. It applies even when usage is low.
Electricity duty
A statutory government levy. Depending on the state, it may apply on energy charges, fixed charges, or selected bill components.
FPPA (Fuel and Power Purchase Adjustment)
Fuel and power-purchase adjustment. It changes more often than the base tariff and may appear as a charge or a credit.
Arrears
Unpaid balance, corrections, security-deposit adjustments or previous-cycle amounts carried into the current bill.
LPSC
Late Payment Surcharge on overdue amounts. Check the due date and pay through the official DISCOM channel to avoid it.
