SLDC in the State of Himachal Pradesh was established in the year 2002 and since then Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board Ltd. (erstwhile HPSEB) was taking care of various SLDC functions uptill its reorganization under reforms scheme, 2010.
In order to ensure that SLDC discharges the functions and duties entrusted with it as per the Electricity Act 2003, in an efficient and effective manner, the Himachal Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission imparted directions to HPSEB Ltd. time and again to take steps to ring fence SLDC and grant it functional autonomy.
