How is Odisha Electricity Bill Calculated?
Odisha Electricity Regulatory Commission (OERC) approves domestic slab rates across all four distribution utilities. For example, if a consumer in Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Rourkela, or Berhampur consumes 250 units with a 1 kW load:
- First 50 units @ ₹3.00 = ₹150.00
- Next 150 units (51 to 200) @ ₹4.80 = ₹720.00
- Remaining 50 units (201 to 250) @ ₹5.80 = ₹290.00
- Total Energy Charges: ₹1,160.00
- Fixed Demand Charges: 1 kW × ₹85 = ₹85.00
- Electricity Duty (5%): (₹1,160 + ₹85) × 5% = ₹62.25
- Meter Rent & Regulatory Fees: ₹20.00
- Estimated Total Monthly Bill: ₹1,327.25 (Approx ₹1,327)
Digital Payment Rebates in Odisha
Under OERC guidelines, domestic consumers can benefit from:
- Digital Payment Rebate: Consumers who pay their electricity bill online via UPI, net banking, or debit card before the due date receive an additional rebate per unit.
- Timely Payment Discount: Paying within the prompt payment period earns a further reduction on net energy charges.
