How to Calculate Your Andaman & Nicobar Electricity Bill
Understanding how your electricity bill is calculated helps you verify your bill. Here's the exact method TANGEDCO uses for Andaman & Nicobar islands — simpler than mainland India with just 3 slabs.
Read Your Meter
Note down the current meter reading. Subtract the previous month's reading to find units consumed. Your electricity bill also shows this directly as "Units Consumed" in kWh.
Apply Slab Rates (Telescopic)
Split consumption across 3 slabs. 0–100 × ₹4.00 = ₹400. 101–200 × ₹6.50 = ₹650. Above 200 × ₹9.00 = varies. Add all slab amounts. Remember — NO free slab, every unit is charged from unit 1.
Calculate Electricity Duty
Electricity Duty = 5% × total energy charges (a percentage of energy, not per-unit). For example: ₹1,050 energy charges → 5% = ₹52.50 duty. Collected through your TANGEDCO bill.
Add FAC Adjustment
FAC (Fuel & Power Purchase Cost Adjustment) ≈ −₹0.13 × total units consumed right now — currently a small refund, not a surcharge. It is revised periodically by TANGEDCO based on actual power purchase costs.
Add Fixed Charges & Meter/Customer Charge
Fixed Charge = ₹90 per month flat (domestic). No separate meter rent. This is charged regardless of how many units you consume — even zero-unit months incur ₹90.
Sum = Total Bill
Total Bill = Energy Charges + Electricity Duty (5%) + FAC (₹0.25/unit) + Fixed Charge (₹90). Check this against what's printed on your TANGEDCO bill for accuracy.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Andaman & Nicobar's Slab Tariff System
The island tariff model presents unique challenges — higher base rates reflect diesel generation costs, and the absence of any free slab means every household pays from unit 1.
✅ Advantages of the Slab System
- Simple 3-slab structure is easy to understand — no complex 6-tier calculation. Staying under 100 units keeps you in the lowest ₹4.00/unit slab.
- Progressive billing encourages conservation — staying below 100 units keeps your effective rate at the lowest island slab.
- Each slab is charged independently (telescopic billing), so crossing into a higher slab doesn't retroactively increase charges on earlier units.
- The structure is transparent — your TANGEDCO bill shows a clear energy + FAC + duty + fixed breakdown with only 3 slabs.
- The fixed charge of ₹90/month is predictable and does not vary with sanctioned load, simplifying household budgeting.
- TANGEDCO is expanding solar and wind energy integration, which may gradually reduce fuel-cost dependency and stabilise island tariffs.
⚠️ Disadvantages & Limitations
- NO FREE SLAB — unlike most Indian states, Andaman & Nicobar has zero free units. Every unit from unit 1 is chargeable, making electricity expensive for low-income island residents.
- Starting rate of ₹4.00/unit is among the highest base rates in India — almost 2× mainland states like Andaman & Nicobar (₹1.90 starting rate).
- FAC of ₹0.25/unit is always a surcharge — unlike mainland FAC which can be a refund, island FAC always adds to your bill.
- 5% electricity duty on energy charges adds significant cost, especially for high-consumption households in the ₹9.00/unit slab.
- Power supply reliability varies significantly across outer islands — remote areas like Car Nicobar and Great Nicobar face more frequent outages.
- Solar net metering infrastructure is still developing in the islands, limiting the ability of rooftop solar owners to fully offset high bills through export credits.
20 Proven Ways to Reduce Your Electricity Bill in Andaman & Nicobar
Andaman & Nicobar's tropical humid climate means fans and ACs run year-round. With high island base rates, every unit saved matters more. These tips are tailored to island living and the TANGEDCO tariff structure.
Optimise Your AC Use
The Andaman climate is humid year-round — air coolers are less effective than on the dry mainland. Instead, optimise your AC: set it at 24–26°C, use ceiling fans alongside to feel cooler at higher AC temperatures, clean filters monthly, and use timers. A well-optimised 1.5-ton 5-star AC can save 25–30% versus running all-out. At ₹4–₹9/unit, savings are significant.
Switch to 5-Star Appliances
A 5-star AC uses up to 25–30% less electricity than a 2-star equivalent. BEE star ratings ensure you know the real consumption. When replacing old appliances, always check the energy label.
Replace All Bulbs with LED
LEDs use just 8–10 watts versus 40–60 watts for incandescent bulbs. If you replace 10 bulbs in your home with LEDs, you'll save roughly 300–400 units annually in Andaman & Nicobar.
Go Solar — Andaman's High-Value Opportunity
Andaman & Nicobar receives 5.0–5.5 kWh/m²/day of solar radiation year-round. At island rates of ₹4–₹9/unit (with no free slab), solar payback is excellent. A 2kW system generates 8–10 units/day and can offset ₹1,200–₹1,800/month. PM Surya Ghar subsidy (up to ₹78,000 for 3kW) is available to island residents.
Install Roof Insulation
Andaman & Nicobar's flat concrete rooftops absorb intense heat. Adding a false ceiling with rock wool or foam insulation can reduce indoor temperatures by 3–5°C, cutting AC or cooler usage significantly.
Shift Heavy Appliances to Night
Run washing machines, geysers, and dishwashers in the evening or night (after 10 pm). It reduces simultaneous load in your home and prevents your circuit from tripping during peak afternoon hours.
Stop Phantom Load (Standby Power)
TVs, set-top boxes, chargers, and microwaves left plugged in keep drawing power even when idle. In a typical Indian home, standby power wastes 50–100 units per year. Use switchable power strips.
Set AC at 24°C, Not 18°C
Every 1°C increase in AC temperature setting saves roughly 6% electricity. Setting your AC at 24°C instead of 18°C can save 30–40% on cooling costs — BEE recommends 24°C as the national standard.
Use Reflective Window Film
Andaman & Nicobar's strong west-facing windows bring in intense heat during afternoons. Metallic reflective films cut solar heat gain by 70–80%, keeping rooms cooler and reducing cooler or AC load.
Use Solar Water Heaters
Electric geysers are the biggest electricity guzzlers after ACs. A 100-litre solar water heater costs ₹15,000–₹25,000 but saves 200–400 units annually, paying for itself in 3–4 years in Andaman & Nicobar's sun.
Optimise Cooler Usage
Keep your air cooler's pads moist and clean. Dirty pads reduce cooling by 30%. Also, ensure cross-ventilation in the room — coolers need an escape route for warm air to function well, and work best in the drier Rayalaseema climate.
Track Monthly Consumption
Read your meter every week, not just when the bill arrives. Spotting a spike early lets you investigate — a refrigerator compressor fault or a geyser left on can quietly add 100+ units in a month.
Andaman & Nicobar Electricity Bill: Everything You Need to Know in 2026
Andaman & Nicobar's electricity sector has gone through significant changes over the past decade. After the 2014 bifurcation of the original Andaman & Nicobar into AP and Telangana, the state initially ran two distribution companies — TANGEDCO and TANGEDCO. In 2021–22, the state carved out a third company, TANGEDCO, from parts of the existing service areas to improve regional service quality around Vijayawada and the Amaravati capital region. As of 2026, all three TANGEDCO operate under a unified domestic tariff approved by TANGEDCO.
Understanding TANGEDCO and How Tariffs Are Set
The Andaman & Nicobar Electricity Regulatory Commission (TANGEDCO) is the state regulator that approves all electricity tariffs. Every year, TANGEDCO submit Annual Revenue Requirement (ARR) petitions to TANGEDCO, justifying their cost structures and proposed rate revisions. TANGEDCO holds public hearings before issuing its final tariff order. The rates in this calculator reflect the most recent TANGEDCO order, effective for FY 2025–26 and carried forward unchanged into FY 2026–27.
FAC (Fuel & Power Purchase Cost Adjustment) is separately notified by TANGEDCO and trued-up periodically. It directly reflects the gap between actual and approved power purchase costs — coal, gas, and market power purchases. When TANGEDCO' actual costs come in below the approved baseline, as happened for FY2024–25, the FAC can turn into a consumer refund. Right now (per TANGEDCO's order dated 27 September 2025), the FAC works out to roughly −₹0.13 per unit, applicable through October 2026.
Why Andaman & Nicobar Bills Spike in April–June
Andaman & Nicobar's summer (April to June) regularly pushes household consumption well above 400 units/month, especially in the humid coastal belt and the hot, dry Rayalaseema region. A single 1.5-ton air conditioner running 8 hours a day consumes approximately 360 units a month by itself. Add lighting, refrigerator, TV, and water pump — and many Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada, or Tirupati households cross 600–800 units in peak months, landing in the ₹9.75/unit slab. This is why monitoring usage and shifting to more efficient cooling (rooftop solar, insulation, air coolers) makes such a large financial difference in Andaman & Nicobar specifically.
Andaman & Nicobar Free Electricity Scheme — What You Need to Know
Andaman & Nicobar does not run a blanket free-units scheme for all domestic consumers, but several targeted concessions exist: SC and ST households get free power up to 200 units/month, handloom weaver families get up to 100 units/month free, and all agricultural consumers receive 9 hours/day of free power. Fixed charges, meter/customer charges, and duty may still apply depending on the category. Check your eligibility and register with your local TANGEDCO office.
How to Check Your Andaman & Nicobar Electricity Bill Online
Each TANGEDCO has an online portal for bill viewing and payment. TANGEDCO users can visit apeasternpower.com, TANGEDCO users can access apspdcl.in, and TANGEDCO users can check apcpdcl.in. You need your Consumer Account Number (CA number) printed on your current bill. You can also pay through BHIM, PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm, and the state's official TANGEDCO consumer app.
Net Metering for Solar Users in Andaman & Nicobar
Andaman & Nicobar has one of India's most progressive net metering policies for rooftop solar. Consumers who install solar panels can export surplus electricity back to the grid and get credit at the applicable tariff rate. Given Andaman & Nicobar's unmatched solar irradiance, a well-sized rooftop system can bring your net bill to near-zero during summer months when both consumption and solar generation are high. TANGEDCO has a separate Net Metering application process available through your local sub-division office.

Andaman & Nicobar Electricity Bill Calculator – How It Works
Everything you need to know — from inputs to slab math to final bill
About the Calculator
This tool calculates your Andaman & Nicobar electricity bill using the official TANGEDCO (Andaman & Nicobar Electricity Regulatory Commission) tariff slabs for 2025–26. It covers all three distribution circles — TANGEDCO (Visakhapatnam), TANGEDCO (Vijayawada), and TANGEDCO (Tirupati) — which follow an identical unified tariff structure.
Unlike generic calculators, every charge component is computed separately: energy charges slab-by-slab, electricity duty as a flat per-unit amount, FAC on all units, and flat fixed/meter charges. This matches exactly how TANGEDCO bills are generated.
- Telescopic slab billing — each unit priced at its own slab rate
- Covers domestic and commercial connection types
- Editable slab rates — test custom tariff scenarios
- Visual charts for slab cost breakdown and multi-unit comparison
- Works offline after first load — no server calls during calculation
Why TANGEDCO Tariff, Not Estimated Rates
Many online calculators use rounded or outdated per-unit figures. This calculator sources slabs directly from TANGEDCO's most recent tariff order. The current domestic structure — ₹1.90, ₹3.00, ₹4.50, ₹6.00, ₹8.75, and ₹9.75 per unit across six slabs — is verified against official TANGEDCO billing documentation.
FAC (currently ≈ −₹0.13/unit, a refund) and Electricity Duty (₹0.06/unit flat) are separately applied, as they appear on your actual bill. This gives you an estimate accurate to within 2–4% of your real TANGEDCO bill — far more precise than flat per-unit calculators.

How to Use the Andaman & Nicobar Electricity Bill Calculator
What Are Slabs in Electricity Billing?
Electricity slabs are consumption ranges, each with a fixed per-unit rate. Andaman & Nicobar uses a telescopic slab system — meaning each slab rate applies only to units within that range. Your total consumption is never multiplied by a single rate.
This system protects low-income households. A family using 25 units stays in the ₹1.90 slab entirely. A household using 150 units pays ₹1.90 for the first 30, ₹3.00 for the next 45, ₹4.50 for the next 50, and ₹6.00 for the remaining 25 — not ₹6.00 across all 150 units.
The financial implication is significant: crossing a slab threshold costs only the marginal rate, not a blanket increase. This is why staying just below key thresholds (30, 75, 125, 225, 400 units) matters for your bill.

Your Key Rights as an Andaman & Nicobar Electricity Consumer
Solar Rooftop & Net Metering in Andaman & Nicobar — Complete 2026 Guide
Andaman & Nicobar has excellent solar potential and India's highest island electricity costs — the ideal combination for rooftop solar. At ₹4–₹9/unit with no free slab, solar payback periods are among the shortest for island consumers.
How Net Metering Works in Andaman & Nicobar
When your rooftop solar system produces more electricity than you consume, the surplus units are exported to the TANGEDCO island grid. These exported units are credited to your bill at the TANGEDCO-notified export rate. Your monthly bill = Units consumed from grid × tariff rate minus export credit.
Net metering is available under PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, typically up to the sanctioned load (1–5 kW for most homes). Exported units are compensated at the TANGEDCO-notified feed-in tariff. At island rates of ₹4–₹9/unit, self-consumption of solar is especially valuable — every unit generated displaces a high-cost island unit.

Andaman & Nicobar Electricity Tariff Revision History (2019–2026)
TANGEDCO revises island tariffs periodically. Here's how Andaman & Nicobar's domestic electricity rates have evolved — reflecting the rising cost of diesel-based island generation.
Smart Meters & Prepaid Electricity in Andaman & Nicobar — What You Need to Know
Under the National Smart Grid Mission (NSGM), Andaman & Nicobar is in early phases of smart meter rollout in Port Blair. Here's how it changes your billing.
📟 What is a Smart Prepaid Meter?
A smart prepaid meter works like a mobile recharge — you top up before you consume. When your balance runs low, you receive an SMS alert. No more bill shock, no due dates to remember, and no disconnection for non-payment. The meter automatically cuts supply when balance reaches zero.
The same TANGEDCO island tariff slabs apply to prepaid meters — there is no separate "prepaid rate." However, the billing cycle changes from monthly to real-time, and you can track consumption daily via the TANGEDCO app.
Benefits of Smart Meters for Consumers
- Daily or hourly consumption visibility via app
- No estimated billing — only actual readings
- Instant low-balance SMS alerts
- Eliminates meter reading visits
- Faster fault detection by TANGEDCO
📍 Rollout Status in Andaman & Nicobar (2026)
Smart meter rollout is in early phases in Port Blair and Aberdeen Bazaar areas. Outer islands including Havelock, Neil Island, and North/Middle Andaman are expected to follow by 2027–28 under NSGM central funding. Check with your local TANGEDCO sub-division office for rollout status in your specific area.
