NEW DELHI.

The pilot enables prosumers—including households, businesses, and farmers generating renewable energy—to directly trade surplus electricity through trusted digital protocols, paving the way for a participative and decentralized power market.

The demonstration was held in the presence of Dr. Ram Sewak Sharma, Chair, India Energy Stack; Shri Jitendra Srivastava, Chairman and Managing Director, REC Limited; Shri Ashish Kumar Goel, Chairman, UPPCL; Shri Alok Kumar, Director General, AIDA; Shri Reji Pillai, President, ISGF; Shri Shashank Misra, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Power; Prince Dhawan, Executive Director, REC; and Smt.
