Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) has issued directives to its field officials, instructing them to facilitate the issuance of new electricity connections with loads of up to 50 KW (56 kVA) in a straightforward manner.
No infrastructure development costs will be levied on applicants if the distance between their premises, for which they are seeking a connection, and the nearest electricity pole from where the connection will be provided, is 40 metres or less.
Officials familiar with the matter stated that these new directives have been introduced due to the realisation that the number of power connections does not align with the number of households in Uttar Pradesh.
