Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How does Telangana classify residential connections?

TSSPDCL divides domestic users into Category A (up to 100 units/mo), Category B (101-200 units/mo), and Category C (above 200 units/mo) with rising tariff rates.

How is the fixed demand charge calculated?

For residential connections, the fixed capacity charge is based on your sanctioned load (in kW). It is calculated by multiplying your load by the DISCOM's monthly rate per kW (ranging from Rs. 20 to Rs. 145 depending on the state). It remains constant regardless of whether you consume any electricity.

What is a telescopic slab rate, and how does it affect my bill?

A telescopic slab structure means your consumption is divided into blocks (e.g., 0–100 units, 101–200 units), with each block billed at a different per-unit tariff. Consuming even 1 unit above a slab threshold can push you into a higher rate band, causing your bill to increase.

Are there any hidden taxes or duties on my electricity bill?

Yes, state governments levy an electricity duty (tax) ranging from 5% to 16% on your total energy and fixed charges. Additionally, municipal taxes, green energy cesses, and variable surcharges like FPPCA are added to the final amount.

What is FPPCA on my bill, and why does it change?

Fuel Power Purchase Cost Adjustment (FPPCA) is a variable surcharge representing fluctuations in fuel (coal/gas) prices and power purchase costs. It is updated quarterly or monthly by state regulators and typically ranges from 10 paise to 80 paise per unit.

How does installing a rooftop solar panel reduce my DISCOM bill?

Rooftop solar exports power back to the grid under net-metering. Your monthly units are offset by the solar export units. If your 3 kW solar system exports 300 units and you consume 300 units, your net consumption is 0 units, leaving you with only basic fixed charges.

What is the difference between single phase and three phase supply?

Single phase supply is standard for loads up to 5 kW (small homes), while three phase supply is required for larger loads (above 5 kW) to balance heavy appliances like ACs and water pumps. Fixed capacity charges are significantly higher for three phase connections.

What Does This Calculator Do?

This calculator estimates residential electricity bills for Telangana Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (TSSPDCL) consumers.

How to Use It

  1. Monthly Units: Enter monthly units.
  2. Category: Select Domestic (LT-I) Category A (≤100 units/mo), B (101-200 units/mo), or C (>200 units/mo).

The Logic Explained Simply

  • The Concept: Telangana groups domestic consumers into three categories (A, B, C) based on total monthly usage. Once you cross a threshold, your entire bill is calculated using that category's higher slab rates.
  • The Formula:
  • Category B (101-200 units): 0-100 at ₹3.30, 101-200 at ₹4.80.
  • Category C (>200 units): 0-200 at ₹5.00, 201-300 at ₹7.20, 301-400 at ₹8.50, 400+ at ₹9.00.
  • Customer charges + grid charges are added.

Real-World Calculation Breakdown

If you consume 250 units in Hyderabad (Category C applies):

  1. Category C Slabs:
  • First 200 units = 200 × ₹5.00 = ₹1,000
  • Remaining 50 units = 50 × ₹7.20 = ₹360
  • Total Energy = ₹1,360
  1. Customer Charge: ₹80
  2. Total TSSPDCL Bill: ₹1,360 + ₹80 = ₹1,440.
