Goa Electricity Department (GED) & Consumer Categories
Unlike most Indian states, Goa's electricity is not distributed by private DISCOMs. The Goa Electricity Department (GED), a government department established in 1963, is the sole licensee for generation, transmission and distribution across the entire state, regulated by the Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission (JERC) for Goa and Union Territories.
LTDS-II — Standard Domestic
The default category for the vast majority of regular households across Panaji, Margao, Mapusa, Vasco and rural Goa. Uses a 5-tier telescopic slab system with a ₹25/kW monthly fixed charge.
LTDS-III — Domestic Mixed
For domestic-mixed loads: homestays, bed-and-breakfasts, and small home businesses common in Goa's tourism belt — Calangute, Candolim, Anjuna, Palolem. Higher fixed charge (₹30/kW) and slightly higher slab rates than LTDS-II.
LTDS-I — Domestic BPL
A highly subsidised flat-rate connection for Below Poverty Line households. Applies only to connections with load under 250W and monthly consumption capped at 100 units — a flat ₹1.50/unit regardless of exact usage.
Goa Electricity Tariff Rates FY2026-27 — LTDS-II, LTDS-III & Commercial
These slabs are approved by JERC (Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission) for Goa's FY2026-27 tariff order. ⚠️ Unlike states with free or subsidised slabs, Goa's standard domestic tariff applies telescopic rates from the very first unit — there is no free slab for LTDS-II or LTDS-III.

How to Calculate Your Goa Electricity Bill
Understanding GED's telescopic billing and flat per-unit duties helps you verify your Goa bijli bill and plan your usage. Here's the exact method.
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.
Identify Your Category
Standard household → LTDS-II. Homestay, BnB or mixed home-business use → LTDS-III. Shop or office → NDS-I Commercial. Each has its own slab rates and fixed charge.
Apply Slab Rates (Telescopic)
LTDS-II example: Energy = ₹2.10 × units in 0–100 + ₹3.10 × units in 101–200 + ₹4.15 × units in 201–300 + ₹5.45 × units in 301–400 + ₹6.60 × units above 400. For 250 units: (100×₹2.10)+(100×₹3.10)+(50×₹4.15) = ₹210+₹310+₹207.50 = ₹727.50.
Add Fixed Charge
Fixed Charge = Sanctioned Load (kW) × ₹25 (LTDS-II) or ₹30 (LTDS-III) or ₹60 (Commercial). A typical 2kW household on LTDS-II pays ₹50/month regardless of consumption.
Add Electricity Duty & PLD
Electricity Duty = Units × ₹0.25 (flat, not a percentage). Public Lighting Duty = Units × ₹0.05 (flat). For 250 units: Duty = ₹62.50, PLD = ₹12.50.
Sum Up the Total
Total Bill = Energy Charges + Fixed Charge + Electricity Duty + Public Lighting Duty. For our 250-unit example: ₹727.50 + ₹50 + ₹62.50 + ₹12.50 = ₹852.50. Use our calculator above for an instant, editable estimate.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Goa's Telescopic Tariff System
Goa's billing structure is straightforward and predictable, but the absence of a free slab means every household pays from the first unit — a real trade-off worth understanding.
✅ Advantages
- Flat per-unit duty (₹0.30 total) is simple and predictable — no percentage-based surcharge that compounds with higher slabs
- Lowest starting slab (₹2.10/unit for LTDS-II) is among the cheapest opening rates in India
- Government-run GED means no PPAC-style private-DISCOM fuel surcharge volatility
- Dedicated EV charging tariff (LTEV-I) at a competitive flat rate encourages electric vehicle adoption
- BPL households get a genuinely low flat rate (₹1.50/unit) with no complex opt-in process needed
⚠️ Disadvantages
- No free slab for regular households — unlike Delhi, Tamil Nadu or other subsidised states, every unit is billed
- LTDS-III (homestay/mixed) rates run meaningfully higher than LTDS-II at every slab — a real cost for Goa's large tourism-rental economy
- Top slab (₹6.60–₹6.70/unit) kicks in relatively early at just 400 units, common for AC-heavy coastal homes
- High humidity and near-constant AC/fan usage in Goa's climate push many households into the top slab for most of the year
- BPL relief is narrowly scoped — capped at 100 units and under-250W load, excluding most lower-middle-income households
18 Proven Ways to Reduce Your Electricity Bill in Goa
Practical, Goa-specific tips to stay in lower-cost slabs and cut your GED bill — especially important given the state's humid, AC-heavy climate and lack of a free slab.
Track Usage to Avoid the Top Slab
Since Goa's top slab (₹6.60+/unit) kicks in above just 400 units, monitoring your meter mid-cycle and trimming AC/fan hours in the last week can keep you in a cheaper slab and save meaningfully each month.
Switch to 5-Star Rated ACs
Goa's humid climate means ACs run for extended hours most of the year. A 5-star inverter AC uses 25–30% less power than a 2-star model — critical here where every unit costs money from unit 1.
Replace All Bulbs with LED
LEDs use just 8–10 watts versus 40–60 watts for incandescent bulbs. Replacing 10 bulbs can save roughly 300–400 units annually — enough to keep a household in a lower slab for several months.
Go Solar — Especially for Homestays
Goa gets abundant sun year-round. Homestay and BnB owners on the higher LTDS-III tariff benefit most from rooftop solar with net metering, given their higher base rates. PM Surya Ghar subsidy up to ₹78,000 for a 3kW system applies.
Set AC at 24°C, Not 18°C
Every 1°C increase in AC setting saves roughly 6% electricity. In Goa's already-warm climate, setting your AC at 24°C instead of 18°C can save 30–40% on cooling costs across the year.
Improve Roof & Wall Insulation
Coastal Goa homes absorb significant heat. Adding roof insulation or a false ceiling reduces indoor temperatures by 3–5°C, cutting AC/fan runtime and keeping consumption in lower slabs.
Use Ceiling Fans Alongside AC
Running a ceiling fan with your AC lets you set the thermostat 2–3°C higher while feeling equally cool, cutting AC compressor runtime and overall consumption.
Stop Phantom Load (Standby Power)
TVs, set-top boxes, chargers, and water pumps left plugged in draw power even when idle — typically wasting 50–100 units per year. Use switchable power strips for guest rooms in homestays especially.
Use Solar Water Heaters
Electric geysers are heavy consumers. A solar water heater costs ₹15,000–₹25,000 but saves 200–400 units annually in a climate with abundant year-round sunshine, paying back in 3–4 years.
Homestay Owners: Separate Guest Metering
If running a homestay under LTDS-III, consider sub-metering guest rooms separately to track and manage AC/water heater usage per room, helping identify and reduce waste from unoccupied rooms.
Service Your AC Regularly
A dirty AC filter or low refrigerant can increase power draw by 20–30% for the same cooling. Service your AC every 3–4 months given Goa's near-continuous cooling season.
Use Reflective Window Film & Curtains
Goa's intense coastal sun heats up west-facing rooms quickly. Reflective film cuts solar heat gain by 70–80%, reducing the hours your AC or fan needs to run.
Install a Voltage Stabiliser
Protects appliances from voltage fluctuations, extends AC and refrigerator compressor life, and avoids the hidden energy waste of motors struggling under poor voltage.
Use Timer Plugs for Water Pumps
Many Goa homes run overhead-tank water pumps longer than necessary. A timer plug ensures the pump runs only as long as needed, avoiding wasted motor-running hours.
Run a Household Savings Challenge
Since every unit costs money in Goa with no free slab, make staying in the lowest slab (under 100 units for a small household) a fun family goal.
Plant Shade Trees on West-Facing Sides
Trees or vertical gardens block direct afternoon sun, measurably lowering indoor temperature and reducing AC or fan load throughout Goa's long warm season.
Right-Size Your Sanctioned Load
Since Fixed Charges are based on kW of sanctioned load, review whether your load matches actual peak usage. An oversized sanctioned load means paying more fixed charge than necessary every month.
Consider EV Charging Tariff for Vehicles
If you own an EV, Goa's dedicated LTEV-I tariff (flat ₹5.45/unit) is often cheaper than charging on a regular domestic connection once you're in the higher slabs — worth applying for separately.
Goa Electricity Bill: Everything You Need to Know in 2026
Goa is unusual among Indian states in that its power sector was never privatised. The Goa Electricity Department (GED), established in 1963 and operating under the Government of Goa's Ministry of Power, remains the sole licensee for generation, transmission and distribution across the entire state — serving roughly 5 lakh consumers. Tariffs are set by the Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission (JERC), which also regulates Union Territories, through an Annual Revenue Requirement and Multi-Year Tariff (MYT) process — the current control period runs from FY2025-26 to FY2029-30.
Why Goa Has No Free Electricity Slab
Unlike Delhi's 200-unit free slab or Tamil Nadu's subsidised free units, Goa's standard domestic tariff (LTDS-II) bills from the very first unit. The state does provide targeted relief through LTDS-I Domestic BPL — a flat ₹1.50/unit rate for Below Poverty Line cardholders with connections under 250W and consumption capped at 100 units/month — but this doesn't extend to the general population. For most Goan households, managing consumption within lower slabs is the primary lever for controlling bills.
Understanding LTDS-II vs LTDS-III — Why It Matters for Tourism
Goa's tourism-driven economy means a large share of households run homestays, guest houses, or small businesses from home — activities that fall under LTDS-III Domestic Mixed rather than standard LTDS-II. LTDS-III carries a higher fixed charge (₹30/kW vs ₹25/kW) and meaningfully higher slab rates — for example, ₹3.15/unit at the entry slab versus ₹2.10/unit for LTDS-II. Property owners renting rooms on platforms like Airbnb should confirm their correct billing category with GED, since misclassification can mean either overpaying or facing back-billing.
Goa's Flat Duty Structure — A Rare Design in India
Most Indian states charge electricity duty as a percentage of energy charges (commonly 5-20%), meaning the duty burden grows disproportionately as you move into higher slabs. Goa instead charges Electricity Duty at a flat ₹0.25/unit and Public Lighting Duty at a flat ₹0.05/unit — together ₹0.30/unit regardless of which slab that unit falls in. This makes Goa's duty burden scale linearly and predictably with consumption, a simpler and arguably fairer structure than percentage-based models used elsewhere.
Why Goa Bills Rise Sharply in Summer & Monsoon
Goa's climate — hot, humid summers (March-May) followed by a heavy monsoon with high humidity persisting through much of the year — means air conditioning and dehumidification run for extended periods. A single 1.5-ton AC running 8 hours daily can push a household from LTDS-II's entry slab into the ₹5.45–₹6.60/unit range within weeks. Combined with ceiling fans, water pumps and refrigeration running near-continuously, many Goan households routinely cross 400 units in peak months, landing squarely in the top slab.
How to Check Your Goa Electricity Bill Online
GED consumers can view and pay bills at the official portal electricity.goa.gov.in or through the Goa Electricity mobile app. You'll need your 11-digit Contract Account (CA) Number, printed at the top center of your paper bill. Payments are also accepted via BHIM, PhonePe, Google Pay and Paytm under "Bills & Utilities."
Net Metering for Solar Users in Goa
Under GED's rooftop solar policy, consumers can install solar panels and export surplus power back to the grid, receiving bill credit through net metering. Combined with the central PM Surya Ghar subsidy (up to ₹78,000 for a 3kW system), this is especially attractive for LTDS-III homestay owners facing higher base tariffs, or any household routinely crossing into Goa's ₹6+/unit top slab.

Goa 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 Goa electricity bill using the official GED (Goa Electricity Department) tariff slabs for FY2026-27, as approved by JERC. It covers LTDS-II Standard Domestic, LTDS-III Domestic Mixed/Homestay, and NDS-I Commercial categories.
Every charge component is computed separately: energy charges slab-by-slab (telescopic), Fixed Charge based on your sanctioned load in kW, and the two flat per-unit duties — Electricity Duty and Public Lighting Duty. This matches how GED bills are actually generated.
- Telescopic slab billing — each unit priced at its own slab rate
- LTDS-II vs LTDS-III category selector for accurate homestay billing
- Sanctioned load (kW) input for precise Fixed Charge calculation
- 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 GED Tariff Data, Not Estimated Rates
Many online calculators use rounded or outdated per-unit figures. This calculator sources slabs directly from GED's FY2026-27 tariff order: ₹2.10 to ₹6.60/unit across five domestic slabs for LTDS-II, verified against official documentation and the current MYT control period (FY2025-26 to FY2029-30).
Electricity Duty (flat ₹0.25/unit) and Public Lighting Duty (flat ₹0.05/unit) are applied exactly as they appear on your actual bill — not approximated as a percentage like most other calculators do for other states. This gives you an estimate accurate to within a small margin of your real bill.

How to Use the Goa Electricity Bill Calculator
What Are Slabs in Electricity Billing?
Electricity slabs are consumption ranges, each with a fixed per-unit rate. Goa 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.
Because Goa has no free slab, this telescopic structure is the only thing softening the bill for lower-consumption households — a household using 100 units pays the full ₹2.10/unit rate for all of it, while a household using 500 units pays ₹2.10 for the first 100, then progressively higher rates for each subsequent block, not ₹6.60 across all 500 units.
This matters most around the 400-unit line, where the rate jumps from ₹5.45 to ₹6.60/unit (LTDS-II) — not a dramatic cliff like Delhi's subsidy loss, but still the single biggest per-unit jump in Goa's slab structure.

Goa Electricity Bill — Answered in Seconds
Direct answers to the most searched questions about Goa electricity tariff, GED, LTDS categories, and bijli billing.
As of FY2026-27, Goa domestic tariff (LTDS-II Standard) has 5 telescopic slabs:
| Consumption | Rate (₹/unit) |
|---|---|
| 0 – 100 units | ₹2.10 |
| 101 – 200 units | ₹3.10 |
| 201 – 300 units | ₹4.15 |
| 301 – 400 units | ₹5.45 |
| Above 400 units | ₹6.60 |
Source: GED Tariff Order FY2026-27. ⚡ Telescopic — each slab rate applies only to units within that range. No free slab.
Formula: Total Bill = Energy Charges + Fixed Charge (kW × ₹25/30) + Electricity Duty (Units × ₹0.25) + Public Lighting Duty (Units × ₹0.05)
▸ Energy = 100 × ₹2.10 = ₹210 (telescopic)
▸ Fixed = 2kW × ₹25 = ₹50
▸ Duty ≈ ₹25 | PLD ≈ ₹5
▸ Total ≈ ₹290
LTDS-II is the standard domestic category for regular households — ₹25/kW fixed charge, rates ₹2.10-₹6.60/unit. LTDS-III applies to homestays, BnBs and mixed home-business use — ₹30/kW fixed charge, higher rates ₹3.15-₹6.70/unit.
Electricity Duty = flat ₹0.25 per unit + Public Lighting Duty = flat ₹0.05 per unit — together ₹0.30/unit. Unlike most states where duty is a percentage of energy charges, Goa's duty is a fixed per-unit amount, so it scales linearly with consumption.
Goa Electricity Consumer Rights & How to File a Complaint
Under the Electricity Act 2003 and JERC regulations, Goa electricity consumers have legally enforceable rights. If your bijli bill seems wrong — especially regarding category classification or fixed charges — you have a clear escalation path.
Step 1: Contact GED
Visit your local GED sub-division office or use the online grievance registration service at electricity.goa.gov.in. As a government department, GED is required to respond within a defined period under JERC Consumer Grievance norms.
Step 2: Consumer Grievance Forum
If GED's response is unsatisfactory, escalate to the Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum (CGRF), mandated under Electricity Act 2003. File online or in person at your regional GED office.
Step 3: JERC Ombudsman
If CGRF fails, escalate to the JERC-appointed Electricity Ombudsman. File a petition at JERC's official channels. The Ombudsman can order bill corrections, refunds, and category reclassification.
Your Key Rights as a Goa Electricity Consumer
Solar Rooftop & Net Metering in Goa — Complete 2026 Guide
Goa gets abundant, near year-round sun — around 5.2 kWh/m²/day on average. With no free slab and rates climbing to ₹6.60/unit, a well-sized rooftop system can meaningfully cut your GED bill, especially for LTDS-III homestay owners on higher base rates. PM Surya Ghar subsidy up to ₹78,000 is available.
How Net Metering Works in Goa
When your rooftop solar system produces more electricity than you consume, the surplus units are exported to the grid. These exported units are credited to your bill through net metering at GED-notified rates. Your monthly bill = Units drawn from grid × applicable slab rate minus export credit.
Since Goa has no free slab, solar offers a direct, dollar-for-dollar offset against your highest-cost units first — meaning solar savings compound faster here than in states with a free baseline allowance. Homestay and BnB owners paying LTDS-III's higher rates see the fastest payback given their elevated per-unit costs.

Goa Electricity Tariff Revision History (2020–2026)
JERC revises Goa's tariffs through its Multi-Year Tariff (MYT) process. Here's how the structure and rates have evolved into the current FY2025-26 to FY2029-30 control period.
Smart Meters in Goa — What You Need to Know
Under the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS), GED has been progressively rolling out smart meters across the state. Here's how it changes your bijli billing.
📟 What is a Smart Meter?
A smart meter transmits your consumption data automatically to GED, eliminating the need for manual meter reading visits. Some smart meters also support prepaid functionality, where you top up before you consume — like a mobile recharge.
The same GED-approved tariff slabs apply to smart meters — no separate "smart meter rate." Billing shifts from estimated to fully actual, and you can track consumption near real-time via the Goa Electricity app, helping you actively manage which slab you land in each month.
Benefits of Smart Meters for Consumers
- Daily consumption visibility via the app
- No estimated billing — only actual readings
- Helps you track proximity to the next, costlier slab
- Eliminates manual meter reading visits
- Faster fault detection by GED
📍 Rollout Status in Goa (2026)
GED's smart meter rollout under RDSS central funding is progressing across urban and coastal-belt areas including Panaji, Margao and Calangute. Check your app or visit your local GED office to confirm your connection's smart-meter status.
LTDS-II vs LTDS-III vs Commercial — Which Category Applies to You?
Choosing (or being billed under) the correct category makes a real difference to your Goa electricity bill — especially for the state's many homestay and small-business households.
| Feature | LTDS-II | LTDS-III | NDS-I Commercial |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical Use | Standard household | Homestay / BnB / mixed home business | Shops, offices, businesses |
| Entry Slab Rate | ₹2.10/unit | ₹3.15/unit | ₹4.25/unit |
| Top Slab Rate | ₹6.60/unit | ₹6.70/unit | ₹6.80/unit |
| Fixed Charge | ₹25/kW | ₹30/kW | ₹60/kW |
| Number of Slabs | 5 slabs | 5 slabs | 3 slabs |
| Duty + PLD | ₹0.30/unit (flat) | ₹0.30/unit (flat) | ₹0.30/unit (flat) |
Surprising Goa Electricity Facts (That Affect Your Bill)
These statistics explain why Goa's billing feels different from other states — no free slab, flat duties, and a tourism economy that shapes tariff categories.
🔥 Shareable Fact: Goa's Government-Run Power Sector
While most Indian states have privatised electricity distribution — Delhi split into BRPL/BYPL/TPDDL, other states created state-owned DISCOMs — Goa never privatised or corporatised its power sector. The Goa Electricity Department remains a direct government department, more than 60 years after formation, making it one of the last true "electricity boards" left in India.

Panaji, Margao, Vasco da Gama, Ponda, Mapusa's residential zones and most inland towns fall under LTDS-II for regular households without commercial or homestay use.
☀️ Solar Opportunity in Panaji
Panaji's mix of independent houses and apartment blocks with open terraces suit rooftop solar well. A 3 kW system can offset ~400 units/month, keeping many households out of the top ₹6.60/unit slab entirely.

गोवा बिजली बिल कैलकुलेटर 2026 — GED टैरिफ
गोवा में बिजली की आपूर्ति गोवा इलेक्ट्रिसिटी डिपार्टमेंट (GED) द्वारा की जाती है, जो 1963 से एक सरकारी विभाग के रूप में काम कर रहा है — भारत के अधिकांश राज्यों के विपरीत, यहाँ बिजली का निजीकरण नहीं हुआ है। टैरिफ JERC (संयुक्त विद्युत नियामक आयोग) द्वारा तय किया जाता है।
⚠️ ध्यान दें: गोवा में कोई मुफ्त यूनिट स्लैब नहीं है। इसके अलावा आपके बिल में फिक्स्ड चार्ज ₹25/kW (LTDS-II) या ₹30/kW (LTDS-III), और बिजली शुल्क + पब्लिक लाइटिंग शुल्क कुल ₹0.30/यूनिट (फ्लैट रेट, प्रतिशत नहीं) जोड़ा जाता है। ऊपर दिया गया कैलकुलेटर इन सभी शुल्कों को जोड़कर आपका अनुमानित बिल तुरंत दिखाता है — पूरी तरह मुफ्त, लॉगिन की जरूरत नहीं।
