Welcome to the UCA Task Force site
UCA Task Forces (UCATF) are collaborative groups of utility professionals, vendors, and experts driving adoption of IEC 61850, CIM, and OpenFMB standards. They provide a neutral space to solve real-world challenges, promote interoperability, and develop practical guidance.
Open to all UCAIug members, UCATF connects stakeholders to shape grid modernization through shared expertise, hands-on use cases, and alignment with global standards efforts.

Various activities meet with various cadences:
- Biweekly (virtual): Subcommittees on use-case data modeling or testing & certification
- Monthly (virtual): General Task Force updates
- Ad-hoc (virtual): Marketing subcommittee for Joint Task Force meetings globally
- Annually (in-person): Joint Task Force Meeting
UCA Task Forces are comprised of a diverse mix of energy industry stakeholders including electric utilities, hardware and software vendors, research labs, federal government, and consultants. These dedicated individuals contribute as they are able and participate in activities based on interest and ability.
