To levy and charge such fees and Wheeling charges from the generating, distribution Companies, licensees, bulk consumers as may be specified by appropriate Regulatory Commission.
3. To facilitate and promote transmission, wheeling and inter connection arrangements within the State of Uttaranchal for the transmission and supply of electricity by economical and efficient utilization of the electricity.
4. Till a separate SLDC is established as per law, for the time being, to establish, acquire, construct, take over the State Load Despatch Centre and run, manage supervise, operate the State Load Despatch Centre as the apex body to ensure integrated operation of the Power System in the State of Uttaranchal and optimum scheduling and dispatch of electricity within the State of Uttaranchal, monitor grid operation and levy and collect such fees and charges from the generating companies and licensees engaged in Intra-State Transmission of electricity as may be specified by appropriate Regulatory Commission. To schedule and dispatch generation of all units connected to the State power system including the centrally owned generating stations, in respect of the share assigned to the State and electricity purchased from other State undertakings.
5. To study, investigate, collect information and data, review operations, plan research, design, prepare project reports, diagnose operational difficulties and weakness, and advise on the remedial measures to improve and modernize. To tender and/or finalize contract for transmission and wheeling of power from generating stations and other sources.

AIM of the Event:

• Infrastructure Development: Designing, planning, and constructing EHV transmission lines and substations, including specialized civil works like tower foundations and control rooms.
• System Reliability and Efficiency: Adopting modern engineering practices, such as SCADA, Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS), and Geographical Information System (GIS) mapping to optimize grid performance, reduce losses (below 2%), and enhance stability.
• Load Dispatch and Management: Operating the State Load Despatch Centre (SLDC) for real-time monitoring, scheduling, and dispatching of electricity to ensure grid security.
• Modernization and Maintenance: Undertaking hot-line maintenance, substation automation, and renovation of old infrastructure to increase the life of transmission assets.
• Technical Excellence: Implementing advanced technology in engineering design, such as using optical fibre networks for communication and developing in-house technical testing capabilities (e.g., NABL accredited labs).
• Safety and Environmental Compliance: Ensuring compliance with safety standards and minimizing environmental impact during the construction and operation of transmission projects.
