Electricity charges in Chhattisgarh are determined by the state's power distribution company, Chhattisgarh State Power Distribution Company Limited (CSPDCL).

These charges can vary based on several factors. These include the type of consumer, the amount of electricity consumed, and the applicable tariff rates. Understanding these charges is crucial for effective budgeting and managing your energy expenses.

What are electricity charges

Electricity charges are the costs consumers incur for using electrical energy supplied by utility companies. These charges are typically calculated based on the amount of energy consumed. It is measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). It is influenced by various factors, including the type of tariff, consumption level, and fixed charges.

In Chhattisgarh, the tariff structure for electricity is designed to cater different consumer categories. These include residential, commercial, and industrial users.

How to calculate domestic charges in Chhattisgarh

Domestic electricity charges in Chhattisgarh are calculated based on a tiered tariff system. This system divides electricity consumption into slabs, each with a specific rate. Here is a step-by-step guide to calculating your domestic electricity charges:

1. Determine consumption: Check your electricity meter for the billing period to determine the total kilowatt-hours (kWh) consumption.

2. Identify tariff slabs: Refer to the latest tariff order issued by CSPDCL, which specifies the rates for different consumption slabs. For example, the first 100 kWh might be charged at a lower rate, with higher rates applied to consumption beyond this threshold.

3. Calculate charges for each slab: Multiply the units consumed in each slab by the corresponding rate. For instance, if you consume 120 kWh, the first 100 kWh is charged at Rs. 5 per kWh. Then, for the remaining 20 kWh at Rs. 7 per kWh, the calculation would be:

• First 100 kWh: 100 × Rs. 5 = Rs. 500

• Next 20 kWh: 20 × Rs. 7 = Rs. 140

• Total Domestic Charges: Rs. 500 + Rs. 140 = Rs. 640

4. Add fixed charges: Fixed charges are a set fee for maintaining the electricity supply infrastructure. This is usually mentioned on your electricity bill.

5. Include additional taxes: GST or other applicable taxes are added to the calculated amount as per regulatory requirements.
