India Launches Peer-to-Peer Electricity Trading Pilot
The government will launch a peer-to-peer (P2P) electricity trading pilot under the India Energy Stack, starting later this month during the IndiaAI Summit in select areas of Delhi and western Uttar Pradesh. REC Limited is developing the platform with three distribution companies to enable rooftop solar prosumers and consumers to trade surplus renewable power via digital apps and smart meters. Transactions will be settled and reflected as cumulative adjustments on regular bills.
Key Points
- 1Enables prosumers to trade surplus rooftop solar directly via digital platform and smart meters.
- 2Lowers costs and increases transparency by reflecting P2P trades as cumulative adjustments on bills.
- 3Requires smart meters, verified credentials, discom integration; practitioners must support onboarding and ledger APIs.
Scoring Rationale
Official government pilot announcement with practical implementation details; impact limited by small initial pilot footprint.
