Uttarakhand: Bill will be 2 rupees per unit during the day and 7 rupees per unit at night, 3 different tariffs for smart prepaid meters

The electricity department has started a new initiative to install new prepaid electricity meters in the state, which will benefit 16 lakh households at present. For your information, let us tell you that the Uttarakhand government has started the work of installing prepaid electricity meters in 16 lakh houses, for which UPCL has also established control rooms in its headquarters. Also, the special thing for consumers is that they will have to pay the cost at the rate of 2 to 2.5 rupees per unit during the day.

Because UPCL buys solar energy during the afternoon. And at night, electricity is supplied from coal and gas, which have a high cost, due to which electricity will be available at expensive rates at the rate of 7 to 8 rupees per unit at night.
