UP Electricity Rates: Electricity companies in Uttar Pradesh have imposed fuel surcharge in the April bills. Due to this decision of the companies, the electricity prices have increased in the state after five years. However, now politics has started on this. Pallavi Patel, leader of Apna Dal Kamerawadi and Samajwadi Party MLA from Sirathu assembly seat, has opposed this decision.

Pallavi wrote on social media site X - Expensive electricity will break the back of poor and middle class families, the government is not for business but for public welfare, so facilities like electricity should be made free and not expensive. At present, electricity is one of the most basic facilities. The inflation of electricity is a real and complex question related to our life. Do not make it more frightening.

Meeting will be held every month.
Let us tell you that in UP, electricity companies have implemented Fuel and Power Purchase Adjustment Surcharge of 1.24%. However, the Electricity Consumer Council has also opposed it. This is the first time in the last 5 years that such an increase has taken place. Several meetings were held regarding the increase in electricity bills. The Consumer Council repeatedly protested against this. Their demand was that ₹33,122 crores has been taken by the electricity bill companies in the recent past by charging excess bills from the consumers, how will this be returned, how will it be adjusted?

Let us tell you that after this decision, a meeting will be held every month in the state and it will be decided whether the surcharge will increase or decrease this time. This time an effort has been made to increase the electricity bill by imposing a surcharge secretly.
