The Prime Minister’s observations come at a time when India has nearly doubled its electricity generation since 2014, reaching 1,830 billion units in 2025. Significant milestones include reducing energy shortages from 4.2 percent to a near-negligible 0.03 percent and successfully managing a massive national grid under the One Nation, One Grid, One Frequency system. This infrastructure now supports a record installed capacity of over 520 GW, ensuring that even peak demands are met without major disruptions across the country.

Looking toward a sustainable future, the Prime Minister’s endorsed vision emphasizes a strong push for clean energy, including the National Green Hydrogen Mission and an ambitious goal of 100 GW of nuclear power by 2047. Through digital reforms like smart metering and expanded renewable capacity, the government aims to maintain a reliable power supply for emerging needs like data centers. To further this dialogue, stakeholders are invited to the Bharat Electricity Summit 2026 in New Delhi to collaborate on grid modernization and next-generation infrastructure.

-The MoU sets roadmap for demand-side management, and consumer-centric innovation

Bengaluru, 19th December,2025 : Tata Power, one of India’s largest vertically integrated power companies, has launched the Energy Insights & Innovation Lab (EIIL) today at its Mumbai based headquarters.  This strategic research initiative is designed to harness cutting-edge research, data and experimentation to support India’s clean energy transition while improving the quality, reliability, and affordability of electricity services for consumers across India.

The EIIL is a collaboration with the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE),  and the International Growth Centre (IGC), a global research centre based at LSE. The Lab aims to address pressing challenges in India’s power sector. These range from managing peak electricity demand to enabling deeper renewable energy integration in a way that is reliable, affordable, and aligned with India’s net-zero goals.

The Lab was inaugurated by Dr Praveer Sinha, CEO & MD, Tata Power; Prof. Robin Burgess , Professor of Economics and Director of IGC and EEE Research Program, LSE; Dr. Jonathan Leape, Executive Director, IGC in the august presence of HM Harjinder Kang, Trade Commissioner for South Asia and British Deputy High Commissioner for Western India. Also, present at the ceremony, Dr. Chetan Ghate, Professor, ISI and IGC ISGH.

The inaugural ceremony also marked the signing of an MoU between Tata Power, LSE and IGC to co-develop scalable solutions for the power sector through evidence-based approaches and global best practices.

System-level modelling + consumer-level insight

The Lab will leverage consumer behavioural science, data analytics, and energy systems modelling to test practical solutions at scale. It will focus on applied pilots that use smart meter and IoT data to improve demand-side management and grid resilience.

The initiative will explore how advanced analytics, and behavioural insights can help shift or smooth peak electricity demand in urban households, reducing stress on local networks while maintaining consumer comfort.

The partnership aims to expand the Lab into a full-scale innovation hub with enhanced funding, institutional partnerships, and a broader mandate – including support in tariff designing for regulatory approvals, consumer flexibility, distributed renewables, and energy equity.

Notes for Editors:

India’s electricity demand is surging, driven by industrial growth, lifestyle requirements (cooling and heating requirements), digital infrastructure like data centres, electric mobility et al. In such a scenario, efficiency and system flexibility are increasingly critical to lower procurement costs and facilitate renewable energy integration. The EIIL is designed precisely for this moment. It brings together consumer behavioural science, data analytics, and systems modelling, to test real-world interventions, measure what works, and help utilities and governments turn those insights into scalable and sustainable energy solutions and strategies.

New UK–India research partnership – how it works

EIIL will have a dedicated analyst team co-located at Tata Power’s Mumbai headquarters, working closely with LSE and IGC researchers. The collaboration reflects a model of UK–India partnership where global academic expertise is integrated with on-the-ground industrial capability to solve shared development challenges. LSE and IGC bring international research expertise, while Tata Power contributes operational capabilities, a diverse customer base, and a strong commitment to innovation and sustainability.
