About HPERC

The Himachal Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (HPERC) was established on 30-December 2000 under the Electricity Regulatory Commission Act, 1998 and started functioning with effect from 6th January, 2001.

Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board (HPSEB) was restructured into Himachal Pradesh Power Transmission Corporation Ltd. (HPPTCL) and Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board Limited (HPSEBL). In addition, Government of Himachal Pradesh established a separate generating company for planning and developing new hydro power projects within the state named as ‘Himachal Pradesh Power Corporation Limited’ (HPPCL).
