There are multiple distribution companies in the east that supply electricity to the various states there; here they are with the states they cover.

Knowing Your DisCo: Why it Matters

Understanding which DisCo serves your area is crucial for several reasons:

  • Billing and Customer Care: You’ll need to contact the appropriate DisCo for any billing inquiries, complaints regarding power outages, or meter-related issues.
  • Payment Channels: Although you can make payment for each DisCo on VTpass, you need to know where your state falls to avoid delays.
  • Future Developments: Staying updated on your DisCo’s initiatives or maintenance work keeps you informed and prepared for potential disruptions.

By understanding the different DisCos operating in the eastern region and following these tips, you can navigate your electricity needs with greater ease for your home or business. Above all, you can visit VTpass to make payments for any of your DisCos without any hassle.
