Uttar Pradesh's data-center power plan lives in a CEA study to 2035-36 and a UPERC draft framework

Uttar Pradesh’s grid planning is now moving through formal resource-adequacy channels. The Central Electricity Authority lists a Report on Resource Adequacy Plan for UPPCL, Uttar Pradesh (up to 2035-36) on its Generation Resource Adequacy Study Reports page. In parallel, the state regulator published a Draft Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (Framework for Resource Adequacy) Regulations, 2024 on July 3, 2024. These are the documents that would carry any committed large-load or data-centre demand into system planning.

• CEA resource-adequacy study – The Central Electricity Authority lists a Report on Resource Adequacy Plan for UPPCL, Uttar Pradesh (up to 2035-36), a ~977 KB study on its Generation Resource Adequacy Study Reports index.
• UPERC draft framework – The Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission’s draft-regulations page carries a Draft Framework for Resource Adequacy Regulations, 2024, published July 3, 2024 with a public-hearing notice and explanatory memorandum.
• Where large loads surface – In UPERC tariff petitions and UPPTCL transmission plans, high-density loads typically appear under HT/EHT industrial or large-consumer categories rather than a dedicated data-centre line item.
• Substation-level validation – For hyperscale siting, the investable evidence is approved upstream transmission capex, named 220 kV/400 kV substations with expandable transformation capacity, and documented SLDC connectivity processes – not a state-total demand figure.
• NCR-adjacent nodes – Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, and the Yamuna Expressway corridor are the most plausible Uttar Pradesh data-centre clusters, where proximity to demand and fiber can precede formal planning recognition.
