New Delhi, Oct. 29 -- The India Energy Stack (IES) Taskforce on Thursday reviewed its Final Report outlining the strategy, architecture and governance framework for scaling the digital public infrastructure across India's power sector.
Jitendra Srivastava, CMD, REC Ltd, delivered the welcome address, while Prince Dhawan, Executive Director, REC Ltd, and Swetha Ravi Kumar, Executive Director, FSR Global, presented the report. Dr. Ram Sewak Sharma, Chairperson, IES Taskforce, outlined the way forward, and Shashank Misra, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Power, concluded the meeting.
IES provides common open standards enabling secure data exchange among power-sector stakeholders. Its "Register, Discover and Exchange" framework facilitates trusted digital identities, information discovery and authenticated data transfers.
Pilots have been implemented across six utilities in five States: Tata Power Mumbai, APEPDCL, DGVCL, PVVNL, BRPL and TPDDL. Consumers can access digital energy credentials through DigiLocker, in partnership with NeGD.
Peer-to-peer energy transactions have also been demonstrated.
The Taskforce recommended stakeholders become IES-ready and establishing an institutional mechanism for specifications and conformance certification. Priority applications include scheduling, Open Access approvals, standardised regulatory filings and generator bill verification.
REC Ltd is steering the initiative as Nodal Agency under the Ministry of Power, with FSR Global as Knowledge Partner.
