Section 3

1. The State Transmission Utility (STU) is required to implement and comply with the Bihar Electricity Grid Code and to carry out periodic review and amendments of the same with the approval of Bihar Electricity Regulatory Commission (BERC). A Review Panel shall be constituted by STU, as required in this Section, comprising of the representatives of the Users of the Transmission System.

Section 1

2. No change in this Grid Code, however small or large, shall be made without being deliberated and agreed by the Grid Code Review Panel and thereafter approved by BERC. However, in an unusual situation where normal day to day operation is not possible without revision of some clauses of Grid Code, a provisional revision may be implemented before approval of BERC is received, but only after discussion at a special Review Panel Meeting convened on emergency basis. BERC should promptly be intimate
