  • Government’s big discount on electricity bill

    Government’s big discount on electricity bill

    New Delhi | The government is going to implement the rule of ‘time of day’ (ToD) for fixing electricity rates. With this, electricity consumers across the country will be able to save up to 20 percent on their electricity bills by managing electricity consumption during solar hours (day time). Under the TOD rule, different rates of electricity will be applicable for different times of the day. With the implementation of this system, customers will be able to avoid doing high electricity consumption tasks like washing clothes and cooking during peak hours.

    Under the new system, consumers will be able to reduce their electricity bills by doing tasks like washing clothes or cooking food during normal working hours. The TOD fee regime will be applicable from April 1, 2024 for commercial and industrial consumers with a demand of 10 kW and above. This rule will be applicable from April 1, 2025 for all other consumers except agriculture. However, for consumers with smart meters, the TOD system will be applicable only when they get such meters installed.

    The Ministry of Power said in a statement on Friday, “The Government of India has made two changes in the existing electricity tariff system by amending the Electricity (Consumer Rights) Rules, 2020. These changes pertain to introduction of Time of Day (TOD) tariff system and rationalization of provisions relating to smart meters.” Accordingly, instead of being charged for electricity at the same rate throughout the day, the price paid by the user for electricity will vary at different times of the day.

    According to the statement, under the new tariff system, the rate of electricity in solar hours (eight hours fixed by the State Electricity Regulatory Commission) will be 10 to 20 percent less than the normal rate, while it will be 10 to 20 percent during peak hours. Will be more Union Minister for Power and New and Renewable Energy RK Singh believes that the TOD system will definitely benefit consumers and electricity providers.

UP has a base of 96 lakh units of MSMEs. To create a one trillion dollar economy, there is a need to plan on a large scale regarding this.

    The CM said that on the lines of birth-death registration, registration of all types of construction work must be done. We should have the data of every construction work being done in cities and villages. Also take care of safety in construction works to be registered. If there is an accident during or after the construction works, then there should be a system of insurance to compensate for it. Construction work should be done only on barren and infertile land. Cultivable land should not be affected. The department should make full use of its resources to increase the income.

    Yogi said that according to the vision of the PM, UP is the first state where the GDP of the districts has also been released. Publish the GDP of the districts along with the data of income-expenditure from various resources. This data should also be sent to various universities for study. Lakhs of people are associated with the tourism industry in the state. There has been a growth of more than 24% in this sector. Make an accurate assessment of the tourists coming to the state. The trade show should be organized on a large scale on the lines of the UP Global Investors Summit.
