There has been significant increase in the availability of power in Uttar Pradesh. The  gap  between  the  demand  and  availability  of  electricity  in  Uttar  Pradesh  has declined to almost NIL in the current year 2025-26 (upto June, 2025). The details of Power Supply Position of the State of Uttar Pradesh in terms of Energy during the last three years and current year 2025-26 (upto June, 2025) are given at Annexure.

Electricity being a concurrent subject, the supply and distribution of electricity to the various categories of consumers/areas/districts in a State/UT is looked after by the  respective  State  Government/Power  Utility.  However,  the  following  steps  have been  taken  to  support  States/Distribution  Utilities  to  provide  uninterrupted  power supply in the States/UTs including the State of Uttar Pradesh:

- (i) The Government of India has launched 'Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) - a Reforms based and Results linked Scheme' on 20th July 2021 with the  objective  of  improving  the  quality  and  reliability  of  power  supply  to consumers  through  a  financially  sustainable  and  operationally  efficient distribution sector. The sunset date of the scheme is 31.03.2028.
- (ii) Integrated  Power  Development  Scheme  (IPDS)  and  Deendayal  Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY) have been implemented to achieve the objective of providing uninterrupted power supply to the consumers by strengthening the sub-transmission and distribution systems.
- (iii) The Government of India has implemented the Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar  Yojana  -  SAUBHAGYA  in  October,  2017  with  the  objective  to  achieve universal household electrification for providing electricity connections to all willing un-electrified households in rural areas and all willing poor households in urban areas in the country.
- (iv) Further,  The  Central  Government  supplements  the  efforts  of  the  State Governments  by  establishing  power  plants  through  Central  Public  Sector Undertakings (CPSUs) and allocate power from them to the various States / UTs.
