Relevance of Smart Grid in India Power system in India has roughly doubled in last decade, growing at 8-10%/yr Generation installed capacity of 215 GW, 4th largest in World “No access” to electricity for 30% Indians Per-capita consumption is just one-fourth of World average, tendency to grow rapidly due to electrification Demand by 2032 is estimated above 900 GW. 12th Plan target for RE generation is 36 GW. Current 12% share of RE will be > 20% by 2020. National Mission on Electric Mobility: target of 6 Million EVs by 2020 An increased share of RE requires smarter systems to manage it efficiently, and ensure its stability & reliability

Smart Grid for India Stakeholder Expectations Quality “Power for All” Improve reliability of supply to all customers – no power cuts! Improve quality of supply – no more voltage stabilizers! User friendly and transparent interface with utilities Increased choices of service and tariff etc Customers Reduction of AT&C losses in all utilities to 15% or below Peak load management Reduction in power purchase cost Better asset management Increased grid visibility Self healing Renewable integration Utilities Satisfied customers Financially sound utilities Tariff neutral system upgrade and modernization Reduction in emission intensity Government & Regulators

Smart Grid Priorities for India No more power cuts, Prosumer enablement Reduce AT&C losses, improve QoS Manage peak power, Demand Response, EV proliferation Integrate Renewables/ Distributed Generation efficiently

Next Steps… Discussions with Stakeholders and finalization of the Roadmap Institutional Framework for Smart Grid Development Approach-2 National Council for Smart Grids (NCSG) may be created NCSG to be given statutory powers to approve Rules & Regulations Approach-1 ISGTF can be strengthened with manpower from different power sector/ICT domains ISGTF should have broader powers in taking decisions in matters related to smart grid developments

Key Questions Is the 15 year time frame reasonable? Is the approach and strategy right? How are top-down and bottom-up to be balanced (national vs. utility)? Are the short term and long term objectives right? What measures to be taken by Utilities? What are consumer’s benefits and how to involve them in the smart grid journey?
