Lucknow: In a significant move to enhance consumer convenience, Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) has fully digitized the process for increasing electric load. Reflecting Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's commitment to prioritizing consumer ease, Dr. Ashish Kumar Goyal, Chairman of UPPCL, made this announcement during a review meeting at Shakti Bhawan. This digital transformation is set to streamline the process, making it faster and more efficient for consumers.

The new online system will officially roll out on 1 May, 2025, with a dedicated portal that will soon be available at www.uppcl.org and the 'Jhatpat' portal. With this system in place, consumers will no longer need to visit departmental counters to request load increases. Instead, they can submit applications directly through the "Load Change Request" link available on the UPPCL website. The process will also be available through Jan Suvidha Kendras.

Consumers can now apply online to increase their electric load, with no limits on the load or category. The required documents, including an undertaking letter, B&L form, no-objection certificate issued by the Directorate of Electrical Safety, and the contract letter, can all be submitted digitally.

The processing fee and additional security deposit for load increases will also be paid online. Furthermore, the approval process for bulk load in multi-story buildings and colonies will be fully digitized.

For bulk load approval, all steps—such as payment of the processing fee, uploading of necessary documents, payment for estimation, and final load approval—will be completed online. Additionally, provisions for full deposit and supervision charges will be included. Dr. Ashish Goyal highlighted that this shift will eliminate the need for consumers to visit offices, ensuring a more timely, transparent, and hassle-free service.
