India Energy Stack: Powering a Digital Future for India's Grid

• India's power sector is transitioning, with over 52% of installed capacity from non-fossil fuels and rapid growth in distributed renewable energy (DRE).
• The challenge has shifted from capacity addition to managing fragmented data from decentralized assets due to DRE growth and EVs.
• India Energy Stack (IES) aims to be the digital backbone of power, creating a federated platform with common protocols and standards for seamless energy transactions.
• IES, inspired by Aadhaar and UPI, seeks to address the digitally disjointed power sector, enabling secure data exchange and open participation.
• Piloted with DISCOMs in Mumbai, Gujarat, UP, and Delhi, IES needs strong governance and interoperable standards to redefine India's clean energy future.
