FPPCA on your bill
FPPCA works like FPPAS. It passes the change in power purchase cost to the bill each month.
Goa charges FPPCA as a percentage of both fixed and energy charges. Uttarakhand charges it per unit.
Example (Goa, August 2026): 12.819% of fixed Rs 100 + energy Rs 900 = 12.819% of Rs 1,000 = Rs 128.19.
The rate changes every month. It can be zero or negative.

States that use FPPCA
| State or UT | Name on the bill | Latest figure we hold |
|---|---|---|
| Andhra Pradesh | FPPCA | APEPDCL is charging FPPCA of Rs 0.3961 a unit on October 2026 bills (for July 2026), on all categories. APSPDCL and APCPDCL work out their own figures, which we could not read yet, so it is not added for every AP home. |
| Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu | FPPCA | DNHDDPCL publishes its FPPCA computation online, but the page was down when checked on 14 October 2026. |
| Goa | FPPCA | 12.819% (levied on August 2026 consumption) |
| Jammu & Kashmir | FPPCA | The JERC (J&K and Ladakh) tariff order of 20 August 2026 sets a monthly FPPCA formula, but JPDCL and KPDCL have not published a figure. |
| Karnataka | FPPCA | Each ESCOM sets its own figure for October 2026 bills: BESCOM −34 p a unit (a reduction), MESCOM +24 p, HESCOM −10 p, CESC Mysore +25 p (CESC order of 30 September 2026). GESCOM had published only up to September 2026 bills. The calculator does not ask which ESCOM you are in, so it is not added. |
| Puducherry | FPPCA | The Electricity Department’s FPPCA page still lists 2023-24 rates (domestic 25 to 40 paise a unit), and JERC’s true-up order of 14 May 2026 records that FPPCA was not implemented in 2024-25. No current figure to add. |
| Uttarakhand | FPPCA | Rs 0.35 a unit (October 2026 consumption) |
