AFAIK if the supply is low, then you would still use the same as the
appliance would pull more amps.
And of cause the UPS would see it as a possible line fault and error all
the time - possibly.

For all of you that worry your electricity bill is far too high, there
might be a device coming out to help you reduce your costs. Basically it
reduces the incoming mains voltage to something around 210v and keeps it
there. UK electricity runs at a nominally 230v +/-10% giving a wide
range of possible voltages that appliances have to work over. The device
basically removes the variation and permanently reduces the voltage.

Unfortunately this is not available to the UK domestic market yet,
apparently trials are current being done, but it does look like
something worth looking at in the future. Have a look here
