About India Energy Stack:
- It is a pioneering initiative aimed at creating a unified, secure and interoperable digital infrastructure for India's energy sector.
- It is a Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) that will provide a standardised, secure, and open platform to manage, monitor and innovate across the electricity value chain.
- This initiative is being spearheaded by the Ministry of Power.
- The India Energy Stack will offer:
- Unique IDs for consumers, assets, and transactions
- Real-time, consent-based data sharing
- Open APIs for seamless system integration
- Tools for consumer empowerment, market access, and innovation
- Apart from conceiving the IES, the Ministry will undertake a 12-month Proof of Concept (PoC) to demonstrate IES through real-world use cases in partnership with selected utilities.
- This includes piloting the Utility Intelligence Platform (UIP), a modular, analytics-driven application built on IES to support utilities, policymakers, and consumers with real-time insights and smarter energy management.
- To guide these above initiatives, the Ministry has constituted a dedicated Task Force comprising experts from the technology, power sector, and regulatory domains, which will steer the development, pilot implementation, and nationwide scale-up of the India Energy Stack.
