UPPCL's internal cross-subsidy adjustment reduces the actual payable energy rate to Rs 6.00/kWh (not modelled). IMPORTANT CAVEAT: most UP private tubewell connections are billed under the heavily Government-of-UP-subsidized Rural Schedule, where the final payable rate is only Rs 70/BHP/month fixed + Rs 2.00/kWh energy (before subsidy: Rs 775/BHP + Rs 6.50/kWh) — that rural/subsidized schedule is NOT modelled here, so this entry will significantly overstate bills for typical rural agricultural consumers.
