उत्तर प्रदेश विद्युत नियामक आयोग ने दिनांक 22-जुलाई-2014 को इलेक्ट्रिसिटी सप्लाई कोड - 2005 में पांचवाँ संशोधन किया। इस संशोधन के उपरांत अब बिना मालिकाना हक दिखाए, झुग्गी, झोपड़ी रोड साइड के छोटे दुकानों को बिजली के कनेक्शन मिल सकेगा।
शर्त ये है कि -
1. ये अस्थायी संयोजन होगा।
2. संयोजन प्रीपेड मीटर से दिए जाएंगे।
3. इस संयोजन को निवास प्रमाण पत्र के तौर पर नही प्रयोग किया जा सकेगा।

निर्माण कार्य के लिए निर्गत अस्थायी संयोजन को 5 साल तक विस्तारित किया जा सकेगा। पूर्व में 2 साल तक विस्तारीत किया जा सकता था।

लगातार 3 महीने तक स्वीकृत भार से अधिक प्रयोग करने वाले उपभोक्ता को नोटिस निर्गत कर भार बढ़ाये जा सकेंगे।
