== History ==
Formed as Uttaranchal Electricity Regulatory Commission post-statehood via the Uttaranchal (Uttar Pradesh Electricity Reforms Act) Adaptation Order, 2001, UERC has issued key rules like Standards of Performance Regulations, 2022. UERC integrates state grid codes with the grid code designed by [[Central Electricity Regulatory Commission]] (CERC). CERC oversees inter-state transmission and national standards via the Indian Electricity Grid Code (IEGC), while UERC's State Grid Code Regulations, 2016, align consistently as required under Section 86(1)(h).<ref>{{Cite journal |title=UTTARAKHAND ELECTRICITY REGULATORY COMMISSION |url=https://cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s3cf05968255451bdefe3c5bc64d550517/uploads/2025/05/202505011818089494.pdf |journal=Uttarakhand Electricity Regulatory Commission (State Grid Code) Regulations, 2016}}</ref>
