THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF POWER
(SHRI SHRIPAD NAIK)
(a) to (e) : India Energy Stack (IES) is envisioned to create a digital enablement
for the power sector so that the disparate parts of the power system can connect
and communicate securely through standard data exchange protocols. The
Ministry of Power has constituted a task force comprising domain experts and
various stakeholders, including representatives from Ministries, state utilities,
Regulators, Gencos and Transcos, to chart a roadmap for the IES, including its
components and design.Distribution utilities of Delhi, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and
Mumbai have been identified for the pilot (Proof-of-Concept) implementation of
IES, and the timeline for demonstration of the same is FY 2026-27. The
implementation of IES has presently been initiated only in respect of the
distribution utilities selected for the pilot implementation.
IES aims to develop unified, secure and interoperable data exchange
mechanism so that services and systems work together seamlessly across the
power sector value chain. The enablement created by IES aims to facilitate
seamless integration of technology solutions related to enhancing efficiency of
the distribution sector and consumer-centric services like load forecasting,
demand response programmes, energy transaction, and overall digitalisation in
the power sector.
