How to Read Your APEPDCL Electricity Meter

Your APEPDCL or APSPDCL electricity meter displays the total units (kWh) consumed since installation. Most Andhra Pradesh homes now use digital or smart meters, which show the current reading directly on a display that cycles automatically between reading, load, and voltage. For older meters, read the number shown before the decimal point.

To estimate your bill using this APEPDCL electricity bill calculator, note your current reading and subtract your previous bill’s “present reading” to get units consumed for the month. Enter that figure above for an instant estimate, including any YSR Free Power subsidy.

Andhra Pradesh has been rolling out smart meters across Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada and major towns under the RDSS scheme, letting consumers track real-time consumption through the APEPDCL or APSPDCL mobile app rather than reading the physical meter. Smart prepaid meters also let you recharge in advance and monitor daily usage, which helps you stay within the lower tariff slabs.

APEPDCL / APSPDCL Domestic Latest Tariff Rates (LT-1)

Fixed Charges: ₹10/month (LT-1 single phase). Fuel Surcharge Adjustment (FSA): ₹0.15/unit, revised quarterly. Electricity Duty: 5% on energy + fixed charges under the AP Electricity Duty Act.

Sample Calculation: 200-Unit APEPDCL Bill

Here’s a worked example using this APEPDCL electricity bill calculator for a domestic (LT-1) consumer using 200 units in a month:

Slab 1 (0–30 units): 30 × ₹1.90 = ₹57.00
Slab 2 (31–75 units): 45 × ₹3.00 = ₹135.00
Slab 3 (76–125 units): 50 × ₹4.50 = ₹225.00
Slab 4 (126–200 units): 75 × ₹6.00 = ₹450.00
Energy charge subtotal: ₹867.00

Fixed charge: ₹10
Fuel Surcharge (FSA): 200 × ₹0.15 = ₹30
Electricity duty (5% on energy + fixed): ₹43.85
Meter rent: ₹20

Estimated total: ₹867 + ₹10 + ₹30 + ₹43.85 + ₹20 = ₹970.85

Enter 200 in the calculator above to see this exact breakdown, including the current FSA where applicable.

What is Included in Your APEPDCL Electricity Bill?

Tips to Reduce Your Andhra Pradesh Electricity Bill

1.  Andhra Pradesh has one of India’s lowest domestic base tariffs — ₹1.45/unit for first 50 units. Keep consumption in this slab for significant savings.

2.  YSR Free Power Scheme — eligible BPL households get first 30 units free every month. Check eligibility at your local APEPDCL/APSPDCL office.

3.  AP’s coastal climate means fans and coolers are heavy users — opt for BLDC fans and 5-star inverter ACs to cut consumption.

4.  Andhra Pradesh has excellent solar potential — both in coastal areas and Rayalaseema. Rooftop solar under PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana is highly recommended.

5.  Agriculture consumers should check PM KUSUM scheme eligibility for solarising pump sets — reduces agricultural electricity costs to near-zero.

6.  Get your meter tested if your bill is unusually high — APEPDCL and APSPDCL provide meter testing services.
