About UPERC

Keeping the restructuring of the power sector in mind, the government of Uttar Pradesh has enacted the U. P. Electricity Reform Act 1999 and has set up the U. P. Electricity Regulatory Commission (UPERC), as an autonomous body corporate. It consists of three members, one of whom is nominated as the Chairman of the Commission. With its headquarters in Lucknow, the Commission is entitled to conduct its proceedings, consultations and hearings in other places in the state also. The Commission has the exclusive power to make regulations for the conduct of its proceedings and discharge of its functions. The Commission is vested with the same powers as that of a Civil Court under the Code of Civil Procedure 1908 (Central Act 5 of 1908) for obtaining information and evidence. Objective of the Commission is that electricity will be supplied under the most efficient conditions in terms of cost and quality to support the economic development of the state of Uttar Pradesh. Power sector would cease to be a burden to the state's budget and would eventually become a net generator of financial resources. Protection of Interest of Consumers.
